Visitors to the Garden

The wider range of visitors is of Birds but numerically there are so many Squirrels in this garden and they certainly shift a huge number of peanuts.   I'll post photographs of them separately.  

I had suspected that there could be a pair of Jays here, and eventually had confirmation.   Magpies are assertive/aggressive to other birds and among themselves.  The iridescence of Magpies is amazing as is the new skill they are trying to acquire of  feeding from peanut holders!   I hadn't seen Crows here until recently and, given the chance, and without much grace, they cram their 'mouths' with food!   I chose not to put food on the bird table this morning to discourage them from returning.   Starlings are not much better and they don't come to the garden much either.
