This winter saw one or two rare visitors drop in on us, the most notable being a solitary waxwing and a redwing.
We've also been lucky enough to have five species of finch in the garden at the same time. These were siskins, goldfinches, greenfinches, bullfinches and chaffinches. The birds have given us countless hours of enjoyment this year.
Here are a few images that we managed to catch. I hope you enjoy them.

Since taking these pictures, we've been fortunate enough to add two more finch species to our list and have had linnets and redpolls coming to the table.
