Thats a hell of a list for three months..
ravens!, bullfinches, white throats, black caps and willow tits, to recall but a few....
A raven is a huge bird to have in your garden, we don't have ravens down our way,
Do you have the male and females of all the different species that you have?
I'm being nosey here but, do you have a large garden? sounds like its a nature reserve you live on. :D

my gardens actually quite small, i have a pond not much bigger than a washing up bowl haha! but a large pussy willow tree (which seems to attract alot of little birds and bees and butterflies)
I think i have both male and female of all these species, but with some it's hard to tell because they are almost identical.
the ravens and crows seem to sit up in the tree and fight over eachother rather than coming down to eat!
