We have had odd ones on the feeders in the past but today OH said there were about a dozen or so he took the pictures through the window so not perfect but nice
A wren hopping about among the Swiss chard in a raised bed
A jay tucking into the hard lamb fat from the weekend joint that I chopped and put out this morning
Several collared doves, a couple of pairs of blackbirds, two robins, lots of goldfinches and a bluetit.
And the big wood pigeon that OH calls Peabrain, tucking into my overwintering peas!!! A deterrent sparkly garden windmill has been moved to that raised bed!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
A gorgeous little Wren about six feet from our back door. As I watched he plucked a green caterpillar from under a hollyhock leaf.
A question though - where are all the Song Thrushes? We had three Mistle Thrushes last summer but I really can't remember the last time we had a Song variety. Is that a Song Thrush in your garden pansyface?
I haven't seen a Song thrush here, but I did hear one singing on a couple of evenings last summer. We see them at MIL's in South Lincs - she lives opposite a country churchyard with an old stone wall, and the thrushes use it as an anvil.

They are just about my favourites little- ann
At a previous house I used to get a little flock of them in the coldest weather - swooping in and looking like tiny little balls of fluff. Gorgeous
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
little ann, that's spooky. I had half a dozen long tailed tits on my feeders to-day. First sighting in almost a year.
I would love to see one of their nests - 2,000+ feathers used! That's an awful lot of flying to and fro.

A good day for birds in my garden so far

Ooh, I like it, Pansyface! Wish there was a button to click for 'like it'.
