i had a male Reed Bunting last week on the feeding station and two Goldcrests just before Christmas were in the hedge. Last year i had Tawny Owl,Common Whitethroat, and Marsh Tit and was quite surprised by all three due to my garden being close to an area of industry, a very active railway line on the edge of a city and in a very built up area. This January saw the largest number of Redwing i have seen in my garden area and a mobile flock of over 200 birds were present for the period of a fortnight mixed in with smaller numbers of Fieldfare.
