Great to see the Redpoll:)

I think if you reduced the size of your photos to 800 to 900 pixels longest side - it would make them easier to view and enhance the end result.

Yes indeed:)

all the Nyjer seed blew out of my feeder...this is the result! The Chaffiches were there too

Was watching these tits out the back garden when I noticed the neighbour's cat sneaking in ( bottom right -out of focus in view of long lens).
Ran out and chased him away:pac::pac:

Edit

This is a photo with the cat in focus and the feeders 'out'

Sorry about the mess at the back of the garden - it's a bit of an uncontrolled compost heap

I brought our cat indoors for a couple of hours to protect the ground feeding birds...he had a great time, he isn't usually let in.

I'm not sure if this photo is from your garden and this is not directed at you specifically.

Just a timely reminder to all. Please remove fat balls from the plastic netting they are supplied in.

I never bought any - but thanks for the advise which may be useful in the future - I would never have known not to use them in the manner they were supplied.

Haven't seen too many blue tits . great tits or Coal Tits since the start of the Survey but the little Coal tit made an appearance this morning as well as the usual suspects....
