Larissa, what kind of birds come to your garden?

Birds very much. Parus major and other forest birds come into the garden and collect caterpillars.
Oriolus oriolus
Best night of Birds Nightingale. He sings in May and June is very sweet. So the male calls the female. When she arrives, he does not sing, and make a nest.
Garrulus glandarius - principal harvest thief.
Night predators.
And many other interesting birds.

The birds look familiar but different 
, Larisa. Maybe the Mockingbird instead of the Nightingale, as a garden visitor, is familiar to some. Not me 
. I've got the Catbird. Most Americans would think, "Oh, that is normal." Ha! I'm right on their border! Most backyards in the US West, do NOT have the Catbird.
If everyone thinks I'm somehow fortunate to share. Here's the deal. To take the place of your Parus major, I have both the Mountain Chickadee and Blackcapped Chickadee! They are around constantly and I have to look closely to figure out which one at any moment. How they coexist here on their borders, I don't know! I mean, they are just birds!
Wikipedia editors are funny. It's okay that their enthusiasm for what they find in their own backyards shines through, often. The garrulous jay ... we have their cousins (and some edit Wikipedia).
The Orioles - hey! I bet most Americans think the one from Baltimore is in everyone's backyard. Not mine. We have the Bullock oriole. Wikipedia goes out of it's way to tell us that Oriolus oriolus is only distantly related. Well, if they are in the family Icteridae with other blackbirds, is Icterus bullockii invited to holiday dinners? Oh, they are birds - probably not

Lots of birds here as well, in part, because we grow foods for them to enjoy. We are certified as a wildlife habitat with food, water, and shelter for many bird varieties and other animals.
Bird watching is a favorite pass time for DH and myself and we're always vying to be the first one to spot returning birds in the spring.

I noticed the same thing Steve did Larisa, about the nearly the same birds here.
I'm delighted with the wide variety of birds that show up to my feeders. How do they know? My feed station is under the pine canopy and can't be visible to flyovers....maybe it's word of mouth.

And I'm glad that my garden pleases you. I also love to watch your photos. It's always interesting. In addition, because of the climate communication I did not grow what I want. But I often put plants Canadian selection. For example, the Canadian rose I really like, and they do not freeze us.
