Even on the dullest of days our back yard is filled with colour

This morning, I managed to grab a few photos of the birds visiting our feeders from our dining room  just before the sleety raindrops started pouring down our windows .....

blue tit

long-tailed tit

 

lesser redpole

chaffinch

great tit

fed on a sunflower hearts and a fat slab!
we also had a wren, dunnocks, blackbirds, goldfinch and robins visiting - even on the dullest of days our back yard is filled with colour

lesser redpolls and siskin

I counted seven redpolls around the feeders today, it is great that they are still visiting our feeders, they arrived the week after the big garden bird watch, which of course is typical! - so they have been here for at least six weeks now:)

the siskin arrived around the same time and they too are still visiting, not in the same numbers of the lesser redpoll, but this striking male popped by today too.
