Where's the burdz?

This is the weekend of the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch.

Didn't have a spare hour to do my bird count yesterday and, although I thought about it today, was rather put off by the strong winds and heavy rain. Even from the comfort of my kitchen, the window was streaked with rain, making viewing the bird feeders rather difficult.

So this is a slight - very slight - cheat. Went out in the rain to top-up the feeders and then stood for about 10 - 15 minutes inside the open back door to watch the house sparrows flit by and stop for a nibble every so often.

Got a photo for my blip but didn't do any bird-counting. Still, there's always tomorrow and the prospect of a rain-free hour at some point.
