Siskins return

Anne D-N reported having three Siskins in her garden for most of the morning – mainly visiting the water feature by her pond, but they have also been on the feeders.  These are the first Siskins of the season, possibly coming into her garden now after the recent colder nights.

Goldcrest seen in High Street

Jennifer saw this Goldcrest in her garden on the wall near a window on 4th November. She's unsure if she has ever seen one in that garden before.

She also reports seeing a Muntjac near her front door earlier on the same day.

A tree creeper was also seen on a tree in the High Street a couple of days earlier.
