Thats a Great Tit

Coal tit has similar markings but is black and grey instead of green/yellow/blue

Thanks everyone. Seen a lot of these in my garden lately. Are they common? Do ye see them in your own gardens?

Couple more types around aswell, gonna try and get a pic of more, if i can, over the next few days.

I see them in my garden quite a bit, along with blue tits , bullfinches and the occasional green finch and coal tit. Great tits and blue tits would be too of the most common ones to see in your garden alrite!

Keep the pics coming alright!

Hey Mystic, very pretty common garden bird, Great Tit being the larger of them, Coal Tit being the smaller and Blue being just slightly larger than the Coal Tit, there is also a Long Tailed Tit which is like a little ball of fluff with a long tail not so common and I believe a Bearded Tit (have never seen one) you should invest in a little book of birds great for identifying garden birds a great hobby to get into, the more you can identify the more interesting it gets.

Goldfinch

Hi again, a video this time - you cant see the bird very well in the video but its the song that has me wondering...very distinctive, in particular the end of the 'song' the way it trails off.

Does anybody know what this is? I've been hearing that song for years and years.
