A scene more reminiscent of spring-time feeders at Mark Wilson's place today. It seems that there are good numbers of breeding Siskin and Lesser Redpoll in the county at present. Also the first juveniles have been around on feeders for past few weeks in some places. Mark also reports Tree Sparrow in Sarn today
