Big Garden Birdfail?!?

Spent an hour looking out of the window this morning, counting birds for the Big Garden Birdwatch. Do the birds actually know when we're doing this and hide? Instead of the usual myriad of different species, all I saw were a couple of woodpigeons and some rooks!

Later on this afternoon, we spent a lovely couple of hours walking around the gardens at Standen, which is only a few minutes from where we live, and we saw this super woodcarving. No surprise that there wasn't an option for 'American Bald Eagle' on the RSPB website but I can at least pretend we saw one!
