I saw this chappie first thing. He/she looks like a lady chaffinch, except she was so small and skinny.
The ladies that like my garden are usually such fat birds like this that I really wasn't sure of it.
I also spotted a new bird to my garden - meet Mr and Ms Siskin
This is a close up of the lady. She stayed on the feeder for a long time.
My goldfinch is a regular in my garden now. I have definately seen two of them.
Also the tree creeper loves this area. He was moving around lots and every photo I took that was quite good had a branch obscuring him.
I had most of my usual bunch today. The nuthatch came back this morning but only for a short while. Something liked the chicken curry. I'd put them on the ground still in plastic cartons hopefully to stop them from making a complete mess. I got into an argument about them encouraging rats so I am not going to put any meat based "joo-mix" out any more. I cleaned the table with my new scraper. It was a bit greasy. And I pulled back all the stones holding it up to get the old food out. Ew there was a lot of manky stuff there. So hopefully the ground feeders will give it a good clearing since there's not a lot of nicer stuff for them. I shall have to think about what I am going to do for the blackbirds and dunnocks and robins, etc. I hope the squirrel doesn't decide to run up the table, as it might just fall over haha.
Mr siskin is on the left and seems to lose the yellow as he slightly turns round. I fit wasn't for the fact the pair of them were sat ther for ages, I'd have said it was two different birds.
