What do you get in your garden?
Hi Guy, I can tick all the birds off your list as having visited my garden in Holland at one time or another except for the nuthatch and coal tit. My greatest surprise and best, was a visiting great spotted woodpecker which came daily to feed on the seeds straight from the sun flowers. Once they were gone so was he, although we had sunflower seeds in feeders.
