BIRDS AT STANTON

After several days of  unsuitable weather on my days off recently, today I stopped off at Stanton park to visit the bird feeders.  After putting several handfuls of seeds and nuts on the top of the feeder, it didn't take long for the usual birds to come and take advantage of it. 
Today there were robins,  dunnock, great tits, blue tits, long tailed tits, coal tit, two nuthatches, marsh tit, male and female chaffinch and naturally a couple of grey squirrels.
