Winter Garden Birdwatch!!

Can you spot him?

Sat down this morning for an hour, to take part in the RSPB's Garden Birdwatch survey. Things got off to a slow start, and this solitary Sparrow was my only visitor to begin with, but then things took off and some of my regular visitors arrived and descended on the feeders.

Managed to spot the following: 6 Blackbirds, 6 Starlings, 5 Sparrows, 5 Goldfinches, 3 Wood Pigeons, 1 Robin, 1 Magpie, 1 Jackdaw, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Great Tit, 1 Bullfinch, 1 Chaffinch.

Within the last week, we've also had visits from Dunnocks, Black Caps, Collared Doves, and even a Woodpecker. But following Sod's law, they didn't put in an appearance this morning.

(Chose this pic as I like the patterns of the tree branches against the fleeting blue sky... And of course, it includes Norman, the lonely sparrow!)
