RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 26-27 January 2013

There's been a greater spotted woodpecker and a marsh tit hanging around so I hope they're still about at the weekend.

 

We've had a few unusual visitors over the last week too but I bet they're no where to be seen on Saturday.....to add to the Fieldfares & Song Thrushes we've now had a Grey Wagtail, a pair of Goldcrests and a Coal Tit to add to the usual crowd

 

We get a Pied Wagtail now and then but the Grey's are only seen down by the rivers.

Nothing unsual today, ten different species, about the daily average.
Blackbird
Robin
House Sparrow
Blue Tit
Collared Dove
WoodPigeon
Starling
Chaffinch
Gold Finch
Redpoll

 

Well it turned out ok here for the birdwatch, a nice sunny day and plenty of birds feeding, we had;
Starlings, House Sparrows, Blackbirds, Blue & Great Tits, Long Tailed Tits, Robins, Wood & Feral Pigeons, Collared Doves, Chaffinch, Pied Wagtail, Dunnocks and the Fieldfares, a single Coal Tit and a Song Thrush were still hanging around too

 

More birds than I saw in yesterday's count Bilbo .

 

I think the birds in our garden knew they were going to be watched as the number of species seen was well down on what we see most days and also well down on last years survey.
