Well, the peanut butter is still intact (untouched!) but the good news is that 5 Long Tailed Tits passed through the garden this morning, so at least I know they're still around AND there were 2 Goldcrests chasing each other through the bushes - things may be looking up!
I know this is a back garden blog but I went to our local nature reserve today (Blackditch) and saw a huge amount of dragonflies, I found them so pretty I just had to share! I admit I don't know what type they are or anything about them, I'm afraid.

There were also at least 30-40 Goldfinches in the trees eating the seeds from the pine cones, I've never seen so many before so it was a real treat!

Top Dragon looks like a Common Darter. the bottom one looks like a Migrant hawker. Look out for siskins in the goldfinch flocks Sharon
Thanks for the info Warren. I'll keep an eye out for the Siskins, I didn't realise they would flock with Goldfinches, we used to get them in our old garden so I'm hoping we'll get them here too.
Goldcrests in the garden! Oh my, I would just love to see one anywhere!
Lovely photos of the dragons.
Thanks ShySongbird - I must admit I love the Goldcrest, I didn't think we could get a bird here smaller than the Wren, then this tiny tiny bird appears with a thin gold stripe - they are just gorgeous!
