Today I filled up all the feeders and put out a fat cake that my daughter and I had fun making from her hands-on nature book. The garden was alive with birds, and the finch flocks were in strong numbers (20-30). The male Siskin was present again, and two Coal Tit visited the garden - one well-marked individual enjoying the fat cake, and a duller one on the main feeder. Highlight of the day was a very active finch flock that brought with it the garden's first ever Chaffinch. Two males and a female fed on seed dropped from the feeders. It's taken a while to get these birds to actually come in to the garden, so I hope the heaps of seed that gets scattered by the other messy eaters will bring them back. In the late afternoon, a single juvenile Siskin visited the garden alone, and enjoyed sitting in the piles of seed collected in the feeder tray for at least five minutes.
