    Initially I thought the bottom one was a Great Tit but the face isn't right?

    Goldfinch top of 1st feeder, could be siskins but difficult to tell or even possibly a greenfinch.

    Goldfinch at the top, I think a male House Sparrow too: and I think Male and Female Siskins on the last photo.

    A really nice mixture.

    P.S. I'm probably going to get "eaten alive " here for my non-existent ID skills.

    Thanks for that.
    I get loads of different birds at the moment. I've had heaps of Greenfinch, Blue Tits, Great Tits and even spied a Pied Wagtail.
    We normally get a Reed Warbler (or the other warbler) but I've not seen or heard one this year yet.

    Thanks for that: I'm usually in the "what is this category" ?

    I'm still not going to be over confident with my ID's, as it's nice to know there really are people on the forum that can ID with confidence.
