Greenfinches in the Garden
We've seen a lot of Greenfinches lately, all healthy , but a mate of mine , who only lives half a mile away says he's seen a few at his feeders showing signs of illness, gaping and generally looking ill . has anyone else seen anything ?
There has been an infection around affecting Greenfinches for some time. Not much you can do except clean and disinfect your feeders regularly and not keep putting new food on top of old.

Is it just Greenfinches or are others at risk too ?
