Roders i wouldn't have a clue mate..i know pigeons for definite Ring doves / magpies / sparrows/ blackbirds and a few others but not many and after that i'm lost mate

 

ID please.
Have put out niger seeds for the first time hoping to get back the gold finches that used to come.
Our first visitors to these seeds are ?
Siskins ,Greenfinches or Yellow Hammer.
I do have difficulty identifying some of these birds.

 

Siskins, a pair same as mine although I now get upto 6, they love sunflower hearts equally.
the male has a black cap and the female has a more streaky plumage.
They are normally more tolerant of us than most other garden birds.

 

Sorry pal you have the wrong house .
