The leaves have gone from the birches in the garden, so it’s easier to see who’s flitting around in the branches. Today I spotted my first Goldcrest - I knew there had to be some!

Meanwhile, it’s a seller’s market for sunflower seeds, with up to 8 greenfinches squabbling over them at any one time, and goldfinches and chaffinches equally keen. Coal tit has been regular, and we’ve had one large party of Long-tailed tits pay a visit as well.
