Some beautiful garden visitors!

Feed them and they'll come! As soon as the weather grows frosty, Linda and I hang up plenty of suet blocks: these contain a variety of additives, from insects to fruit to seeds, and are a welcome high-energy stop off for most garden birds: today we've had Long-tailed, Blue and Great Tits on the suet, as well as a Goldcrest (too quick to photograph!)

Our tall tree Cotoneaster has been constantly visited by Blackbirds, Redwings and even Jays: fingers crossed for a Waxwing before the berries disappear!
