Our fat ball feeder is having some unusual visitors recently. The local male blackbird is using it quite frequently, as is at least one robin. What looks to be a juvenile blackbird is also trying to emulate the elder bird. I think we also have a warbler of sorts using it, but without any form of optics to allow me a closer look I can't be sure. Am I correct in assuming these all to be unusual?

Have spotted a male blackcap in the last few weeks but the female never seemed to reappear. Also had most of the tit family including a pack of long tailed ones, although they've not been back for a few days. Have had a greenfinch or two, as well. These seem to feed quite slowly and sit on the seed feeder for minutes at a time. I never did get that superzoom camera, though!
No apology required. There are times when an old topic is best revived, particularly with an update, and this is a good example of a good update.

I have got a shot of Mr Blackcap at last. Best I can do right now is post a photo of my camera screen. I need some better kit! You can tell by the size of my fingers how small the camera is...
