Our garden is alive with blue, great and coal tits right through

and finches?

Yes. Chaff, green, gold and sparrow.

Our tits made an appearance with this year's young today. One jay
also
showed up, but no sign of the dozen or so finches that we were
feeding
at one time

Here, the chaffinces and sparrows are the only finches still
freeloading.
