Lesser redpoll - 16
Siskin - 4
Goldfinch - 21
Bullfinch - 5
Greenfinch - 4
Chaffinch - 3
Reed Bunting - 1
Blue Tit - 7
Great Tit - 5
Coal Tit - 2
Long-tailed Tit - 9
House Sparrow - 7
Tree Sparrow 3
Waxwing - 1
Dunnock - 3
Robin - 3
Blackbird - 4
Mistle thrush - 1
Fieldfare - 8
Redwing - 11
Magpie - 3
Collared dove - 3
Pied Wagtail (On the house roof)
Great Spotted Woodpecker - 1
Jay - 1 (flew across garden)

Plus our 1st Nuthatch ever in the garden a 10 minutes ago. :D

Should have been letter writing today but spent most of the day just looking out of the study window at the feeders. Maybe tomorrow eh! :wink: :D :D

Can't really take all the credit for the increased numbers in 2013. As apart from changing the feeding regime a little this year (Niger seed). The increase appears to be mainly down to the horrid weather John.
It's snowing quite heavy here at present and Blackbird numbers have increased today to double figures (11) in the garden. Apart from that and two extra Reed bunting, there's very little change in either numbers or species today.
