Since my post earlier this week, we’ve spotted the greenfinches a couple more times and the chaffinches have paid a visit most days. No siskins yet but I did see a pair of grey wagtails this morning. Those are the ones named for their grey backs even though you would have thought their bright yellow bellies would make more sense as the feature you would refer to!

I spotted them as the flew down onto the patio area. Unfortunately, by the time I’d realised what I was seeing and that my iPad was within reach, they were moving on so I got one not-very-good photo showing the back of one of them as it briefly perched on the far end of the polytunnel before flying off.

I have seen them in the area before, though rarely, and never in the garden. I don’t expect they will be regular visitors but I’ll keep my eyes open.
