Good idea. I have edited my list and added my location

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.
