Bird count update

These figures represent the highest at any one time today.

4 blackbirds (down from10)
4 Fieldfares (down from 12)
16 Goldfinches (possibly more up from 13)
8 Chaffinches (up from 4)
6 House Sparrows ( up from 4)
4 Blue Tits (no change)
1 Pigeon (no change)
1 Dove (no change)
4 Greenfinches (up from 2
4 Bramblings (First visit)

There has been a significant change over the last week and the thaw today has seen the departure of many of the Fieldfares and blackbirds. However, we spotted some bramblings today a first for our garden. The new small hole feeder with thistle seed is now being heavily used by the goldfinches. While the chaffinches are collecting the fallen seed below. No Waxwings this year.

We just need a feeder nearer the house now to take a decent picture.
