A pair of Great Tit visited the garden this morning, which are typically an infrequent visitor, with only singles being seen previously. The male kept a look out from the tree, whist the female fed on the sunflower feeder. A single Coal Tit. was the first I've seen in a good while, and made a few visits to the same feeder. A pair of Goldfinch have been regular, as have Greenfinch and Blue Tit. House Sparrow and Starling are nesting in nearby roof spaces and have been using the feeders more and more regularly through the Spring. A male and female Blackbird are now both using the feeder tray to take sunflower seed, whilst Dunnock still prefer to feed from the ground below.
