A New Garden Tick - Siskin!
We've had our first Siskin today - a solitary male on one of the mesh peanut feeders. Unfortunately he was too far away to photograph this time.
I am planning to either move a feeder or get a new one (ANOTHER one? Our neighbours must think we're mad!) and place it near the kitchen window or door to try and photograph each species.
It has been very busy in the garden again today; there was a flock of 30 Greenfinch and 28 Chaffinch at one point - and it's not easy to count that little lot!
The male Yellowhammer from Tuesday made another appearence today - he examined the ground feeder and then flew down to the bottom border where he was promptly bullied by a male Greenfinch. Exit Yellowhammer stage left!
