Woodpigeons.
Feral pigeons.
Collared doves.
A family of field mice.
Grey squirrels.
Frogs and frogspawn in the pond.
chaffinches .
magpies.
siskins.
robins.
long tailed tits
blue tits
great tits
house sparrows
dunnocks
linnets
starlings

As I know of and can remember.....
How am I doing? :)

Impressive list. Had to look up linnet in the bird book - I don't think I've seen one of those.
My list is not dissimilar, but we don't have the feral pidgeons - too rural for them.
My birds are eating me out of house and home at the moment - it's fabulous to watch, but I hope it slows down again soon, or I will be broke!

You can say that again. If I ever run out of my usual stuff and buy a fill-in from the local garden centre, I am often left with it uneaten. I think they know they get spoilt in my garden :)
