FINCH CORNER AND STANTON PARK

I paid an early visit to 'finch corner'  this morning. Several bramblings, greenfinches, chaffinches blue tits great tits to be seen, also a pheasant. But sadly no yellowhammers or tree sparrows showed for me.

Afterwards I went on to Stanton Park.  I put out some seed and later someone  ( a warden?) put out a whole lot more, including apples and fat balls. 

I was rewarded with visits to the bird feeder by a two nuthatches, coal tits, blue tits, chaffinches, great tits, robins and blackbird. No jay appeared for me though.
