Balcony Species

Just had bird species number 18 land on my home balcony - a superb `Mistle Thrush` Going to get some `bought` mistletoe as the berries are one of there favoured foods, may by able lure it to a `photo shoot` when I tie said mistletoe to my apple tree.
I have only had one Great Tit on my feeders this week, I wonder if this new strain of `avian pox` is taking a hold?. There are some dreadful images on the net of  Great Tit with the wart type growths on them.

    Hideous isn't it Trevor - had a couple of different birds with infections earlier in the year but not seen them since - feeders now get disinfected every week and I pressure watch the supports and surrounding area every fortnight
