A timely decision!
It had been a timely decision to sit for an hour and watch my garden yesterday morning to count the bird species in my garden! Yes, the Big Garden Birdwatch weekend has arrived, 29th- 31st January! The weather forecast did not sound favourable for the weekend but today (Friday) it was looking good with sunny spells and more importantly dry! Today (Saturday) it is wet with rain, sleet and snow! What a difference a day makes! There is a song there somewhere.;-)
I have submitted my bird counts and I have to say I think they are the best counts for a few years.

9.45am-10.45am. 29/01/2021
My counts in order of appearance: Robin 2, Dunnock 3, Jackdaw 3, Blackbird 3, Carrion Crow 3, Blue Tit 2, Coal Tit 1, Magpie 2, Great Tit 2, Greenfinch 2, Blackcap (f) 1, Wren 1, Woodpigeon 2, Long-tailed Tit 3. A good excuse to sit for an hour and watch the garden. I shall look forward now to the results when the RSPB publish them.

Yes, "24 little hours" but a lot to see and do even in lockdown!
ReplyDeleteGreenfinches are becoming a rarity here.
Nice birds for your BGBW my friend!
Thank you for your kind reply Ruth! Greenfinches have been seen regularly here throughout the Winter, we are lucky as they are a rarity as you say.
