[Geoff F]

Just the 'usual suspects' here.

Blackbirds, robins, chaffinches, greenfinches, dunnock, blue tits, great tits, collared doves, crows, wood pigeons, magpies including one youngster trying to feed from the hanging feeder. The only addition due to the colder weather is a thrush which isn't common around this spot.

They are eating more from the bird table though; but less from the hanging fat ball and peanut feeders.

The usual birds for me but a nice suprise when one morning there were 3 Siskin on the feeders. I don't usually get them until late January/February.
