On a downnote around Porlock greenfinches having a bad time again reports of dead birds been found in gardens .one local having found 6 dead birds in his garden .Interesting to know if this just local or more widespread

Re: Exmoor

Hi Colin,

I hope that all is good with you?

As for Greenfinches, we have more here in Coleford than for many years.

They are doing very well indeed.

Best wishes

John
