"Reed buntings are a wetland bird typically found in wet vegetation but they have recently spread into farmland and, in winter, into gardens," says David.

"The ducks are on the small stream at the bottom of my garden and frequently come into the garden to pick up food spilt from the hanging feeders."

David has spotted 48 different species of birds in his garden and shared some of what he has seen for our article on the RSPB Big Garden Watch earlier this year read it here https://sandbach.nub.news/news/local-news/sandbach-bird-lovers-urged-to-take-part-in-this-weekends-big-garden-birdwatch-168609
