It was just about this time last year that numbers started building up although for a third of the days in January no redpolls were seen. This year so far we have had a presence every day in January in fair numbers which make me blasé about what we have Jan 2016 1st - 8: last year 1 2nd - 10 3rd - 12: last year 1 4th - 18 and two brambling 5th - 9 and one brambling 6th - 12 7th - 8: last year 3 8th - 6 9th - 9 10th - 4 11th - 16 and one siskin 12th - 9: last year 3 13th - 3: last year 5 14th - 8: last year 4 15th - 4: last year 6 16th - 8: last year 9 17th - 11: last year 10 18th - 7: last year 10 19th - 5 20th - 7: last year 12 21st - 9: last year 11 22nd - 8: last year 27 23rd - 3: last year 29 24th - 7: last year 17 Many goldfinch every day too
Obviously the counts are the the maximum we saw feeding together so the figures could well be in excess of what has been recorded so far. Last year the good counts came from the next six or seven with several counts of over 40 and 50 and into the sixties, so it will be interesting to see what the next few weeks brings. So Andrew Vaughan I don't wish to appear greedy but you pinch my birds
