We started the bird watch about 9.30 a.m. on Saturday as there were quite a few birds in the garden. We'd topped up the feeders around 9a.m. and the birds started to appear.
First in were Starlings and Blackbirds followed by a couple of Magpies, a couple of Rock Doves and a couple of Wood pigeons. Most prolific visitors were Goldfinches.
There was a distinct lack of Sparrows in our garden this year although we've seen plenty around on our local walks. About an hour after the count finished 4 Longtailed Tits appeared on the fat ball feeder - too late to be counted.
Not great photos I'm afraid as they were taken through the conservatory windows.
The full list
4 Starlings, 3 Blackbirds, 2 Woodpigeons, 2 Rock Doves, 9 Goldfinches, 2 Magpies, 3 Dunnocks, 2 Collard Doves, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Blue Tit and 1 Robin.
