I took part in the Big Garden Birdwatch today. Fed the birds in the garden this morning and then made myself a coffee, got the binnoculars, camera, paper and pen and started "the watch". It was slow to start off with. A couple of sparrows and a robin popped down. I was beginning to think they'd all gone off elsewhere and then it was as if the "party" had started and they all started showing up. A couple of latecomers came just been closing time. I had to check on the Coal Tit and Great Tit on-line cause I'm never too sure about them.
Below is a list of birds that were in my garden between 10.00 - 11.00 am
Robin 1
House Sparrow 24
Blue Tit 2
Blackbird 1
Wood Pigeon 4
