Great weather for working out who rules the feeding station, as the numbers increase in the cold weather.

wood pigeon (top dog,not aggresive just big)
jackdaw (very aggresive)
jay (sees everyone off except above two)
squirrel (not avian,but keeps clear when top three are about)
nuthatch (attacks all, even robins)
robin (chases everyone else including there own)
magpie (strange one this, got a bad press, but not aggresive)
g s woodpecker (comes and goes,never bothers anyone)
collard dove (lot of flapping wings, no aggression)
l t tits (clears all before it by shear numbers)
blackbird (gets on with feeding, attacks tits especially)
mistle thrush (size keeps some away, no aggression)
coal tit (bit of a bully concidering its size)
bullfinch (non aggresive, except to there own kind)
great tit (does not win many battles)
blue tit (seen off by all of the above)
dunnock (always in the back ground)
chaffinch (waits till all have fed)
greenfinch (odd ones, difficult to rate)
goldfinch   (    ditto   )
wren (does not get involved)

Had a first recently, a pheasent feeding on a table six foot of the groung.
