I seem to have taken quite a few shots of the Chaffinches :giggle: but they were the only ones that hung around for a few seconds, the others were just so quick flying in, grabbing a seed and :outtahere: :giggle:

Goldfinch

Just managed to catch the Redpoll before the Goldfinch chased it away.

Long Tailed Tits, I don't think I've ever seen so many on one bird table before, at one point there was over 20!

Julie, what an amazing collection of birds on your feeders. On the rare occasions I see a long tailed tit it is usually on it's own, to have so many on your bird table at one time is fantastic.

Blimey!! That feeder with all the Goldfinches looks much like the one hanging from my bird table, I often get as many as 12 Goldfinches trying to get on 6 feeding ports. I find that quite amusing, I love those Long-tailed Tits... gorgeous!
