The new bird feeder in our garden is really becoming a star attraction for birds.  We had a pair of robins at the weekend, which is quite unusual as they are normally solitary birds.  Lots of sparrows of course and our little blue tits who have taken up residence again in tree at the bottom of the garden.  However, there was one bird that we can't identify.  It had a red, black and white striped head, a black and white spotted body and a yellow tail.  So far a search of the internet has failed to provide the answer. I do hope it comes back so I can get another look   Although it is proving quite difficult to get pictures of our feathered friends.  Either I can't get close enough or they are never around when I have the camera in my hand.  But we are awaiting a new camera which has a very powerful zoom lens so I will be able to happily snap away without them knowing from the bedroom window.
