2 NEW VISITORS TO FEEDING STATION

After a great morning over at Audenshaw reservoir, getting shots of 2 Gt Northern Diver plus Black tailed Godwit , numerous Goldeneye, pintail, pochard, tufted and a few more. I called in to ringstone about 13.30. There was a pair of Wigeon on the reservoir , always nice to see. I drove round to the feeding station and noticed about 20 Chaffinch on the nyger seed . I parked up and with in 10 minutes i had up 40 finches, Gold ,Green and Chaffinch on the nyger. Looking at the bush with the feeders in there were 2 Reed Bunting both female and above them my first Brambling on the feeding station, chuffed to bits . Hopefully more will come down from Krumlin as it get colder. Then for about 5 mins a Weasel appeared and was quite happy to run about right near my car.
