When I returned from birding yesterday my wife Chris said she’d had an unusual visitor in the back garden. It turned out to be a Pheasant. You wonder how they find their way into a  garden in the middle of a housing estate. This morning she drew my attention to a bird on the bird bath…it was a lovely male Bullfinch. A bit later we had a pair of Siskins on the bird feeder followed shortly after by a pair of Blackcaps. An eventful garden watch.
