Since the invasion of sparrows we've lost green and goldfinches but still get tits, blue, great and long tails. Robins feed near the bedroom window especially now it's cold. Blackbirds and pigeons are marauders and will eat us out of house and home given the chance. Wrens, blackcaps, chaffinches visit and in the summer a pair of goldcrests or firecrests (ID not easy)popped in for a bath. Buzzards and red kites are still soaring. Green and greater spotted woodpeckers occasionally and a regular sparrowhawk upsetting everyone. Oh and I forgot, last month saw a barn owl up the garden just before dusk.
Our most notable visit , the only time I've seen one, was by a nuthatch on the fat balls.
What else is flying? Helicopters - apaches, chinooks - jets, puddlejumpers, aerobatic planes and microlights. We live near both military and private airfieds .
