Finch House garden - December 2021

 Much of the month was windy or wet, or both. We still managed 67 birds. Most were Blue tit, but 11 Greenfinch was a decent result. Hopefully the weather will be less mild over January and February and more birds will come for food. 

The Jay was particularly good since it was marked with a darvic for the project underway at the University of East Anglia.
