3 Blue Tit

4 Robin

5 Hedgesparrow

6 Blackbird

7 Doves/ Wood Pigeon

8 Magpie

9 Wren

10 Starling...

down where our hide is sited we have Registered Over 60 differance species of Birds this year this by the way is our own hide on our land at the edge of moorland

Mine are :

1 Blackbird

2 House Sparrow

3 Starling

4 Long Tail Tit

5 Goldfinch

6 Redpoll

7 Greenfinch

8 Robin

9 Jackdaw

10 Blue Tit

These figures change almost monthly. eg  i may not see any Blackbirds all throughout the late spring and summer. In autumn and winter ther may be as many as 15 in my garden at any one time especially early morning.the same can be said of the Long Tail Tits (Although not so much the early mornings !)

The Redpolls appeared for the first time since i have been feeding birds in my garden (Spring 2008) quite recently and their numbers have swelled from 2 to 9 at present, and they continue to use the nyger and sunflower heart feeders on an almost hourly basis.

Would love to hear of other people's experience of thesewonderful little Redpolls.
