Any other birds returning at the moment ?
Do you see the long-tailed tits in your gardens ?

The greenfinches are around too and I saw a bunch of long tailed tits yesterday. There are lots of bugs that look like blackfly on my willow trees which they like :-)

Brill photo, mine have spells when they are here 2-3 times a day for quite a while, then dont see them for a few weeks, then they decide to come back again.

Lovely photo Dawn, we have had them in our garden but not seen any recently. Beautiful birds though.

I think we all agree they are gorgeous little birds - looks like the niger seed will be staying on the shopping list for a while.
