Tawny Mining bee

A full month later than last year provides our first garden sighting of a Tawny Mining bee

New visitor

We are still getting good numbers of birds visiting our garden feeders and we were particularly pleased to see a male and female Siskin.

Regular visits by Goldfinch and Greenfinch brighten up the garden.
Although this is the time of year when we  would reduce the amount of feed available I have decided to keep it going a little longer since there seems little more available naturally now than there was in January.
