P.S - You get Bullfinches in your garden Nick!! Wow I'm very jealous,
trapsing round the countryside here trying to get a photo of one!
Yes, they are frequent visitors. My garden backs onto a copse that runs
alongside the River Otter and open countryside.
Long tailed tits seem more numerous than ever this year. A couple of
years ago they would hardly be seen at the feeders but now they are as
common as the blue tits.
Have yet to spot a sparrow or starling since the cold December of 2010.

The strange thing at my new house is that there are always 6 to 8
house sparrows on feeders out the front yet none at the back
