[stephen p]

Hey Everyone,

We had some new visitors to the Garden yesterday
I have changed the seed in the Seed feeders this week, putting Sunflower hearts in 2, i usually only put this on the bird table.
And yesterday morning we had 8 Goldfinchs in the garden never had them before!!
Also we have new Robin to the garden, are last one past away at the begining of the year

Here are a few pictures, sorry they aren't the best i was freezing and shaking all over the place!!!

I need an ID on one please folks



And here is a couple of other pictures, will get more this weekend hopefully







Cheers,

Stephen

1 and 4 are male Chaffinchs, 3 is a female Chaffinch, I'm glad to hear your feeding station is a success.

Nice visitors Stephen, you sound as mad as me, I'm always in trouble for having either the windows or front door open letting the cold in photographing the birds at the feeding station. only ever has one Goldfinch though despite having sunflower hearts and niger seed on offer

My garden isn't big enough for me to be in Stephen only about fourteen foot square so I use the house as a hide shooting through the open bedroom window or the front door. Good to hear your Goldfinches were back today
