Peanuts

The old wire constructed peanut bird feeder has broken and I went and bought a couple of cheap plastic mesh nut feeders.
There has been little activity on them so far, it will take a little while until the birds accept them.

Stonechat

A single Stonechat spotted on the top branches of the Hawthorn tree

Birds

A single Redwing seen at the top of the garden Hawthorn tree around mid morning.
Two Great Tits visited the garden and a single Goldfinch took a few nibbles of the Nyger seed.

winter birds

A pair of Redwing spent a few minutes in the Hawthorn tree taking a breakfast snack on the ripe Haws.

Long-tailed Tits

A small group of four Long-tailed Tits spent about half an hour of the morning scouting through the shrubs in the garden and the Hawthorn tree.
