A brilliant winter on our bird board.

We've not really had a bad winter this year but it has seen some colder weather than we've had in recent years. I've enjoyed having what has been the closest thing to a real season in years and its had the effect of sending birds flocking to our gardens.

This winter saw one or two rare visitors drop in on us, the most notable being a solitary waxwing and a redwing.
We've also been lucky enough to have five species of finch in the garden at the same time. These were siskins, goldfinches, greenfinches, bullfinches and chaffinches. The birds have given us countless hours of enjoyment this year.

Here are a few images that we managed to catch. I hope you enjoy them.

Brilliant photo's, we have bluetits, robins and the blackbirds etc but nothing as fancy as that. I am too suburban.

Nice pictures. My most unusual visitor was a blackcap, otherwise it's mainly blue tits, great tits, robin, blackbirds, sparrows and starlings.

On our feeding station we have mainly had the tit family the most notable being the coal tit. Plenty of nuthatches & tree creepers a couple of robins & the occasional visit of the wren. Further out we get woodpeckers (lesser & greater), jays, hawks/buzzaards, an owl that we have never seen but hear lots.

They're beautiful pictures Bodger. They'd be lovely printed and framed as a big bird montage.
