This chap and his wife have been constant visitors again today, back and forth relentlessly, I hope they have made our garden their home, The Mr on the branch tends to prefer the fairy cakes (he was just having a break as I clicked the lens shut) and his wife seems to prefer the fat cake and the nuts (maybe she has beeen warned off his stash of cakes!!!!!
We have also been inundated with these guys and their mates today, at one point I counted 7 in the garden at the same time all feeding from different feeders!!

I'm glad to say the Goldies are coming back in their numbers too!! Not as many as the Greenfinches but most of the time we have had the two feeding together on the bottom niger feeder and the lone one on the mid garden niger!!

great shots of the woodpeckers jayne, we too have had the greenfinches coming back in numbers, they seem to arrive and leave the same time as the sparrows.

Remember when you didn't get any finches?
I consider myself lucky to get goldfinches because the others I do get are very few and far between. probably too far from the woods.
a collection of lovely photos Jayne. Phil
Thanks Guys, we love the woodpecker visits but also have it in mind that are very likely to predate the smaller birds nest too, but such is life they seem to live side by side at Abernethy without too many problems, so hopefully they will here too!!
