A few garden birds

The cold weather and snow has brought a few more birds into gardens recently.  Mervyn W noted a male Reed Bunting was again feeding in his garden, as was the case this time last year - quite an unusual garden visitor!  

Similarly, a pair of Jay, normally quite shy birds, have become regulars in Andy M's garden, feeding on the seed dropped by the rather messy male Great Spotted Woodpecker. And after the recent snow, one Jay even ventured up to the feeders close to the house. The House Sparrow colony is also becoming more evident, especially if there's the faintest hint of sun!
