Observations:

We now have lots of greenfinches visiting on a daily basis. We do not see the blue tit very often but we now have two great tits visiting. We see lots of male chaffinches. The thrush and blackbird visit in the morning and again in the afternoon. They pick the ground looking for worms . The chaffinches pick the food of the ground under the feeders. Most birds visit between 10:30am and 11 o'clock.
