Birds at the garden feeder

Post by DerekF »

A few snaps of the visitors to our garden in the last few weeks. Nothing special. The nuthatch and great tits have avoided the camera so far.

One the regular goldfinches

A pair of greenfinches. Used to be fairly common but this was the only time I've seen them this year.

Nice to see the bullfinches back. Regular visitors too.

A rare visitor in our garden. A female house sparrow. We almost never see sparrows in the garden.

Long-tailed tit nest building by the looks of things.

We’ve had some sparrows recently, first time for a few years. I also saw a blackcap last week, a definite first.

Some lovely close up photos there.

Apart from Bull Finches we get pretty much all of the garden birds visit the garden at different times, although there has been a noticeable decline of Chaffinches coming and I haven’t seen a Coal Tit for months!

Lovely shots, fantastic to see the Bullfinches, around us it's Greenfinch which is a lot more scarce than they used to be.
