I was delighted to add another bird to my 'new garden' list this morning - in the form of this fine 
Greenfinch. I have often seen these birds, but have never - to my knowledge - actually had one in my own patch ... until now. In the light of the RSPB report on the bird disease, 
Trichomonosis (which particularly affects Grenfinches), I am pleased to report that this garden visitor looked in good shape. 
I also spotted a trio of 
Bluetits, but it was raining so I shall try to take some better photographs of them at a later point.
Garden list update:
I have also seen Sparrows,
 and am waiting to get a better look, but I think they may be Tree 
Sparrows.

That disease is horrible isn't it and I've had sick birds in my garden but thankfully not this season. We get Greenfinches every day in the garden here.
greenfinches are lovely birds, the disease is awful isn't it?
