November garden visitors

Time pressures means being restricted to garden visitors - a pair of Hedge Sparrows continue to be the most active permanent residents, often joined by a pair of Blackbirds, a Robin, a pair of Greenfinches and up to three Woodpigeons at a time. Occasional visitors this month include a Wren, Magpie, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Jay and a Great-Spotted Woodpecker over the wall. Regular fly-bys include Crows, Cormorants and Common Gulls.

Last week a family of Long-Tailed Tits passed through as they do once a month or so. Yesterday a Goldcrest dropped in briefly.

The last butterfly was a Red Admiral on November 2nd.
