New visitors and new arrivals.

Sadly not on camera, but we had the delight this morning of watching our resident Charlie fox sitting on the wall at the far end of the top field behind the house. This field is obviously his regular haunt.
We seem to be in the middle of a Goldfinch frenzy. The last few days have seen numbers jump from about 4 at any one time to over a dozen at a time. Too many to count given the speed at which they move. They have decided that they like ALL bird food now. Niger, sunflowers, mixed seed, nuts. Anything and everything.

Today they brought some friends along too. First we saw a Siskin on the nuts, then she went on the niger, then another arrived, then another! You can just make out two on the right handside of this niger feeder (right hand feeder).

Another new arrival today. The blinds have arrived for the departure lounge - and been expertly fitted too!

As I sit and type, it feels much warmer with something at the window!
