Garden Goldfinch

   Adults at the feeders, note the anti Sparrowhawk bars

With Goldfinch being a new species to the garden feeders from this springtime with up to 4 birds it was a pleasure tonight to have 7 in the garden, 3 being newly fledged young.
The anti Sparrowhawk bars seem to be working with plenty visits but no kills seen as the bird is forced to lift high above the feeders usually landing in the top of the Hawthorn tree briefly before moving on.
Since a black cat started hiding in the garden stalking birds I,ve cleared all the undergrowth near the feeders and put some mesh under the trees which also seems to have done the trick.
Two more new garden birds for me is a Collared Dove and a Wood Pigeon which land below the feeders to clean up.

LBB gulls are now becoming a common sight over the village with moving and returning birds daily.
