A new species for the garden today! Rain, Rain, some sun, Rain!

Finally my current profile picture matches the day with my pint of Guiness and St Patrickā€™s Day hat,Ā Happy St Patrickā€™s day!

A new bird has shown up in the garden today, 2 siskin 1 male and 1 female, very pleased with that! Ā Also 4 bullfinches and the males were looking superb! Ā Even with the rain they shone brightly in what light there was this morning.

The DIY is almost complete, a bit late as my parents arrived today, great to see them over from Australia been about 18 months since I last saw them and 5 years since they last saw my wife. Ā  Now onto the birds:

  1. Blackbird x 1
  2. Blue Tit x 1
  3. Bullfinch x 4, 2 x m, 2 x f
  4. Coal Tit x 1
  5. Dunnock x 3
  6. Great Tit x 1
  7. Robin x 1
  8. Siskin x 2 ā€“ 1 x m, 1 x f
  9. Woodpigeon x 1

I donā€™t know if this will be of interest to anyone but a user on the Australian Saver Scene has put out a challenge:Ā (UPDATE: saverscene now CLOSED due to moving to carer in horticulture hope to have my gardening website up early 2019) thereā€™s already a few good money saving ideas, so if you have one feel free to add it over there, I always feel money saved means more bird seed and when I can walk better more money for petrol to go birding and camera gear photographing (Iā€™m hooked on wildlife! Ā But hope to be back doing landscapes soon), so try hard to do a lot of the saving ideas.
