Chaffinch and Goldfinch
Blimey!! What an imaginative title!
The garden was very busy today following the winter-long lull. Most of the activity was in the form of our Greenfinches and Chaffinches, but amongst that little lot were two Siskins (one male, one female). It's nice to see them slowly returning to the feeders since they have been absent from the garden all season.
The sun revealed itself for a nanosecond this afternoon, too! Bit more of that and I might actually see something in the nest box! I am religiously turning the lights on in the box each morning but I don't think I'll see anything inspecting it until the weather picks up a bit. That's if we get anything in it at all, of course ...
Facing the wrong way, but nice colours: Goldfinch

Nice to hear that you`re getting some garden bird activity, Emma. Really struggling down here in Barnsley.
Not sure if i`ve said this before but this has to be the worst winter ever for bird visitors.
Lovely pics BTW
