Male reed bunting in garden this morning for about 30 mins, taking seed from beneath the feeders.
Bullfinches have become almost the commonest visitor to the sunflower seeds - two pairs. Came throughout 2008 from end Jan with just a few weeks gap at the end of August start of September - and have visited daily since. Female occasionally takes niger seed.
