GARDEN FEEDERS

Was fortunate to see a Redpoll make a brief (30 sec) visit to our feeders yesterday lunchtime; too timid to actually eat anything! First I have seen here for c. 3yrs.
Robins fledged and now started again somewhere in my workshop; trying to find the nest in case I disturb them inadvertently

(Just about everyone I have spoken to has remarked on the number of birds coming to their garden feeders. Here at Trisant it is costing me a fortune with a giant niger seed feeder emptying every day. The mixed Goldfinch and Siskin flock, plus four or more Lesser Redpolls, is totaling around 100 birds! JAD)
