Hard frost and many hungry birds

We had around 60 birds of various species today feeding on the mixture of food in the tree and the spillage. Brambling, Sparrow, Dunnock, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Starling, Blackbird, Collared Dove, Feral Pigeon, Wood Pigeon and a possible Fieldfare. Also on the rooftops were Crow, Jackdaw, Herring Gull and a rare visitor, Black Headed Gulls. Strangely none of Blue, Coal or Great Tits were there today and good news for most of them is a Sparrowhawk was found dead in the park nearby.
