As always, thank you very much for continued contributions to this important and long-running project. The data you provide not only allow for the monitoring of garden species, but also contribute to
novel research into these species and their use of gardens and supplementary food. 

In addition, they also provide a picture of what is occurring across a wider spatial scale, telling us, for example, about patterns happening in the wider countryside. This is most obvious in species such as Siskin and Redwing, whose numbers link so closely to the weather patterns and availability of food at a European scale.
