So I spent most of the day sorting photographs , and every now and again , having a look out of
the window , but most of the time , there were only Woodpigeons either hoovering up everything on the ground , or sitting waiting on the neighbour's fence to get a look in . The other 
often viewed species was the Grey Squirrel , this one being one of at least 3 frequenting the 
feeders all day . I think even the Rose Ringed Parakeets got fed up with the rain , keeping well under cover whilst they fed . Didn't see any Goldfinches today , unusually , but there were good 
numbers of Greenfinches , some arriving in pairs to feed . Most numerous Finch , as usual , was the Chaffinch , and even in the terrible light today , the male coming into breeding colours is 
certainly a striking bird . The best sighting , and the worst shot of the day , was a brief visit from the female Blackcap . She sat nice and still whilst I got the camera ready , then got spooked by 3/4 Jackdaws , swooping down from the roof . As the shutter went so did she as you can see 
from her tail .As I post this , it is still tipping down , so I hope there won't be anyone putting the mockers on tomorrow's weather , it can be bad enough on it's own .

Tomorrow is gonna be a cracker. :-)
At least you only had rain, we had snow all day!
Nice photos, the Parakeet made me smile, it looked like it was coming out from under a trapdoor.
Don't worry Greenie i'm not going to mention the W word......you know the word I mean.
Having trouble with squirrels myself at the moment, don't mind the odd one in the garden but they are mob handed at the moment.
"Now , I'm not one for pointing the finger , but such a dramatic change must be down to someone putting the mockers on the weather , and he knows who he is."
And i was going to say "point that finger, Greenie"
But it looks like the culprits owned up.
thank you for your blogging. It cheers me up when I can't get out into the wild myself. Just everything is fascinating.
