Early morning breakfast

Did the "get up early thing" this morning, caught these two scoffing their breakfast.

Would like to know what this is, i really am hopeless!, checked on rspb site but really couldnt make an id.

Not a lot of colour on it at all, it just sat in the bush, didnt feed, then took off!

Lovely capture of the LTTs. I can't see what other food you are putting out, but if there are sunflower hearts there I would be surprised if you didn't get more greenfinches.

Yep sunflower hearts it is, first one i have seen though. The ltt usually go to the fat ball cage, but i thought i would try to lure them onto the feeder by placing a fat ball on it-and it worked!!
