Wakeham

A dry day with a little bit of sun. Main highlight was 3 Common Darters, a female and 2 males around the pond.

On the feeder great to see a Greenfinch. Hopefully there will be many more visiting the feeders this Autumn and Winter.

Always great to see Greenfinches in the garden and anywhere for that matter. Since the severe outbreak of trichomonosis that began in 2005, the numbers of Greenfinches has fallen drastically. More on this deadly disease on the Daily Mail Online Page Here.

A Greenfinch on the feeder. The greasy pole to the right is to prevent Roland Rat from getting to the feeders. Judging by the scratch marks I might need to apply some more grease.
