Garden today

Male and female Brambling on the feeders this morning together with the resident Blackcap. Whilst we are still getting Goldfinch they have reduced in numbers. Plenty of Greenfinch, Siskin and Chaffinch. All photographed through the window. I am wiping the footbars and tops of the feeders with anti bacterial wipes.Feeders are removed and replaced with clean feeders, the dirty feeders sprayed with weak bleach and left out in the rain to wash.
