Finches seem to be sorting themselves out again up the hill here. 3 Greenfinch returned this week, and a pr of Bullfinch. Chaffinch numbers are up Goldfinch numbers thinning out And Brian, you can have as many of my Collard Doves as you like!!! lol Cheers,
One pair Collared doves is enough they eat to much,but i will swop you a Nuthatch for some House Sparrows if you still have any. Funny about the Greenfinchs just appearing like that.
