Notes from a Fishguard garden

Hi,
Redpolls & Greenfinches disappeared a week ago & only an occasional Siskin visiting - but at least 2 dozen Goldfinch hanging about.
HOWEVER today a first sighting of a [solitary] BRAMBLING on the niger-seed feeders & also about 6-8 Redwings rootling about. Two Kites circling overhead & a nice fly-past of a few Lapwings. So a most enjoyable time spent washing the dishes & staring out of kitchen window!
[Agree that there are far fewer Chaffinches, sparrows & tits about - ordinary seed & peanuts quite slow going ]
