Sunday, 4th December 2005

siskinThis morning a male siskin feeds on the niger and sunflower hearts. He's a bit smaller than our regular bird feeder visitors, the goldfinches but equally attractive with his neat markings and mossy green plumage. It's the first time that we've seen one this year, as far as I remember.

nuthatchThe nuthatch is still flying in to feed on the sunflower hearts, peanuts and fat block. We've come to recognise its direct but dipping flight. Next Page
