Iver Heath Garden - 11 February 2012

At last the Siskins are beginning to arrive in numbers and today was a good opportunity to try and catch a few. I also put out some apples, hoping to entice some Redwing down into the vicinity of the nets. The apples did not bring in thrushes although two Blackcaps coming to a somewhat stunted apple tree in the corner of the garden did mange to find the net, and thankfully the Siskins came and brought along a few of Redpolls too.

Blackcap - 5 female

Lesser Redpoll - 5 male

Totals: 33 (4)

Robin - 1 (1 )
Dunnock - 0  (1)
Goldfinch -1
Siskin - 25 (1)
Lesser Redpoll - 3
Blackcap - 2
Blue Tit - 1
Great Tit - 0 (1)
