Last weekend I bought some Niger seed and a special feeder for birds with tiny beaks. Even the squirrel hasn't managed to break into it. It took till Wednesday for the bird I was hoping to attract to find the feeder, and here it is, a beautiful, shy goldfinch. I was thrilled to bits to see it.
I took this photo of the magpie as it really shows the beautiful turquoise blue coloured feathers on its wings. It's so easy to think of them as just black and white.
Another 'first' this winter is this female chaffinch. I haven't seen any since last winter's snows. This one could well be a migrant from Northern Europe.
