Dear members
I was watching the above live webcam on youtube. It was fascinating, and some birds I have difficulty with. Please can anyone advise on identification?
Best wishes and thanks , Ian

There isn't a seasonal difference. The birds in your pictures are females which are much duller than the males. Sadly here in the UK the population is in steep decline due to disease.

Thank you all. I am learning all the time. The below webcam is great. I just saw a hawfinch too! A lifer for me.

Fantastic webcam with amazing views of GSW, Jay, and four species of tits.

I watched for ages only saw female greenfinches not a single male.
Strange.

The camera quality also makes them look even duller - see how grey the 'green' foliage looks.

Pic 3 has 2 Greenfinches, and a Chaffinch (also female) behind the left Greenfinch :t:

Correct. Now... Nuthatch, Great Tit, Willow Tit, Coal Tit, Blue Tit.

I don't think it's a Middle Spotted.. perhaps others will correct me if I'm wrong..

There are two species visiting the station.

Hi - please could you confirm these as willow tit? I had thought them to be marsh tits.

WONDERFUL WEBCAM! Watched for five mins, highlight for me was a Tree Sparrow!

Nice to see those Middle-spotted Woodpeckers in close up! They are Marsh Tits visiting, one of them looks sick unfortunately. Also a Tree Sparrow which while I was watching arrived each time with with two male Greenfinches.EDIT, Clifff beat me to it!
I could hear Carrion Crow, Raven and Malleard in the background too.
