Look Out For Winter Visitors!

Yesterday (30th October) we had our first Brambling of the winter visiting our garden. There were two of them.

If you feed the birds in your garden, or if you have trees with berries, the birds that visit in winter are now arriving in good numbers, and it's time to look out for them, and maybe supplement what you normally have on offer. Birds such the thrushes (Fieldfare, Redwing, Song Thrush, and even Blackbird) will probably be grateful for half-apples left on the ground or stuck on the ends of branches or canes. Siskin, Brambling, and Lesser Redpoll will appreciate sunflower hearts.
