Heard my first Greenfinch of the year, they seem to be a lot less common nowadays. Cetti's not calling at Attenborough yet, maybe they are all lip reading.

I had a pair of jays rummaging around at the bottom of my garden this morning.

Fragile Do Not Bend
A pair of mallards arrived at our pond overnight. They seem to be happy to share with the moorhen. I’m really hoping this year will be the year they stay and bring up ducklings.

ff, I'm hoping for siskins here, too. If they come, they tend to come late winter, when alder cones in the local area are depleted. A couple of years ago for a brief period in March they were the commonest bird in our garden, but I've only seen a couple so far this winter.
A bird aim for this year: hear nightingales. Didn't hear any at all last year.

Siskins and goldfinches 'own' our bird feeders - 4-6 siskins and about 6 goldfinches.
But the golfinches seem to come for a few days, then go off for a week or two, then back.
Siskins always in pairs and only squabble if lone males try to intervene, goldfinches fine if either side of the feeder, but will not tolerate another one at the 90 degree slot.
All seem happiest with niger seeds, but also munch happily on the sunflower hearts.

First singing Chiffchaff this morning along my running route--also Cetti's and three Greenfinches at separate sites (they have actually increased down here over the last couple of years Chrisity).
