Birds in my garden (or near it)

I've just been over to the rather brilliant website at http://www.garden-birds.co.uk and seen their growing collection of Photographs of British garden birds.
Who says we don't have great birds living (or visiting the UK). Thanks to them for these pics of two birds very familiar to me. I can't wait for the autumn when the fieldfares will be buzzing around my garden. (I live next to open fields). And in the woodlands just a short walk away I remember seeing nuthatches from an early age. The pity is there don't seem to be as many around these days. Anyone know why?
