Winter birds

With the very cold weather, the birds are busy eating as many sunflower seeds and peanuts as they can in daytime hours. I’ve spent far too long trying to photograph them, but here they are. I also saw Coal Tits, Robins, Greenfinches, Chaffinches and Nuthatches but they proved more elusive. It’s not just the smaller garden birds, but Wood Pigeons and a family of grey squirrels who also have their eyes trained on our garden for an easy meal!
