Finch Numbers Increase



Goldfinch


The activity around the feeders in my garden has increased significantly in the last few days.  This is especially true of Goldfinches and Siskins.  There are far more than usual and although it is difficult to say exactly how many are coming through there are at least 15 of each species present at any one time.  Of course they may be many more than that.  It is so busy that birds are "queueing" to get access to the niger feeder.




Male Siskin


The pair of Willow Tits are also still present.
