Good afternoon, sitting having a cup of tea and watching the birds at the feeders when one came the feeder that I don't normally see, it is larger than a blue tit and more streamlined a blue Gray back and rust coloured chest a grey skull cap with a black band and it also has a long pointed beak, so could any of you bird watchers let me know what type of bird it isit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Not a bullfinch Thelma this is slightly larger than a sparrow but slimmer looking, I will need to go and find out what a redstart looks likeit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Artnoon All - the sun's gone in and so have I.
Flo - hope the tablet helped you find your bearings. It awful being lost.
Rary - sounds like a male chaffinch - but I know you'll say it wasn't.
I popped into Siansbugs this morning, looking at their clothing racks (the top rail is always just out of reach - but that's another story). Suddenly, a man's head popped around the end of the row and said "What do you think of this?". When he saw me, he was a bit taken aback - but I said it suited him and he should buy it. Then his wife appeared, as she had disappeared down the racks!!
He was wearing https://tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/...searchProduct=
Made me laugh and we seemed to bump into each other in several other aisles afterwards. Despite my encouragement, he didn't buy the hat!!
Reminded me of rary, as he was quite old!!
Happy Monday

As for the man reminding you of me was it because he was so young at hartit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

At my sons watching our grandsons and darting about the artificial grass at the back door is a wee wren my favourite bird, even in front of an old battery hen that I know
This seems to be a day for the birds, I still haven't identified the first one I posted about I have checked through a book of British birds but couldn't find it, once I am home I will try checking through the internet then the wren followed with getting slagged by VC again but no matter I am not complaining, as I was taught to respect my eldersit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Well I've made cottage pies, cheese scones and cherry scones and I'm about to do the ironing. What day off? Tried a Kindle fire Bren but had to return it after a few hours with the techies who couldn't sort out a gremlin. Trying again with another Az Fire now.

LD it looks very like the Eurasian Nuthatch, in colour and short tail and I think size but the black band I thought was above the eye but I could be wrong and of course when I got my camera out it never came back, the last time it came in to the feeder I had put more feeding in it and there was more sunflower hearts in the mix I don't know if it made any differenceit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Is it a nuthatch? (super edit: how slow am I to catch up )
Just been told there is an influx this year of hawfinches and nuthatches
edit: Oops, sorry. Evening all, hope you are all having a better one than me. I am on small child sickness alert. Fingers crossed she isn't as bad as my youngest was on Friday.
