Finch fest

The feeders have been buzzing of late, particularly the sunflower hearts, and I have had a wide variety of birds coming and going. The following pictures illustrate the interesting combinations observed. I have also had blackbird and magpie on, but when they appear everything else clears off! The odd slightly blurry image is caused by the feeders swaying in the wind or when a bird lands, and my simple digi-scoping kit does not cope well with this.

No patch updates, but things are looking up as winter visitors are still around and summer visitors are on their way north - watch this space!
