Garden birds

I've had a redpoll on my peanut feeder over the weekend only the second time in 27 yrs of living where I am near Machynlleth! I've got siskins feeding on my nyjer seed too but not as many as some other folk on here and the goldfinch love the stuff. Unusually this winter too I've had goldcrest and treecreeper feeding on the ground below the nut feeders! The hard weather certainly made these vulnerable little birds go that extra mile to get food.
