The Garden Usuals

Maybe a Robin or a Goldfinch may visit the front garden, but not much. the back one is so much more productive. Many birds visit the feeding-station, and some visit the "bird shelf", and some feed on the seed sptrinkings on the ground. Some may visit the garden just to sit on the fence and sing. Here I will make a list of the usual species, the ones who visit  nearly every day.


  • Greenfinches
  • Chaffinches
  • Goldfinches
  • Robins
  • Carrion Crows 
  • Rooks
  • Magpies
  • Black-Headed Gulls
  • Wood Pigeons
  • Collared Doves
  • Stock Doves
  • Blue Tits
  • Great Tits
  • Coal Tits
  • Blackbirds
  • House Sparrows
  • Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs
  • Sometimes Marsh or Willow Tits

    Hi Eleanor
    What a lovely Blog.
    My son (6yrs old) loves watching birds too. Curiously, he also has a tiny apple tree just like yours too - he grew it from an apple core.
    Keep up the good work.

      Thanks very much.
      I have been reading your blog too.
      Hopefully if the weather is good, me and Dad will pick some elderflowers and make the cordial that you have made! Great activity for Father's Day!
