More Garden Randomness

Here's the sick Greenfinch (taken yesterday). I have emptied and cleaned the water dish each time she's been on it.
And here she is compared to a healthy Greenfinch - her larger 'fluffed-up' size is very apparent. Both pictures were taken yesterday. She hasn't been seen today.

Male Chaffinch
Woodpigeon. I like these. They vacuum up the mess :o)
Female Greenfinch
Proving difficult to photograph, as usual. The Blue Tits are rarely still ...
... and when they are, they turn away!

Fighting again. Tsk!
Of all our garden birds, these Greenfinches are probably the most quarrelsome - closely followed by the Goldfinches.

Great stuff again Emma.
Wish the birds would come to my feeding station, the only regular visitors are the Collared Doves, even the Starlings hav`nt been for ages. There`s been a dozen apples on the lawn now for god knows how long, usually the Starlings finish 3 or 4 off a day. I hate to say this, but bring on the cold weather, if this does`nt bring the birds in, i dont know what will.
