Our garden count was:
15 hedge sparrows (usually more but it was cold and windy and they were hiding in the hedge most of the day)
3 Great tits
4 Blackbirds (after the mealworms I had scattered on the lawn)
1 Robin
2 Pigeons
3 Magpies
Just across the road in the cereal crop 15 carrion crows, 2 collard doves and a curlew.
BBC start Winterwatch next week so more bird watching on its way.
Then the rain clouds rolled in and the sun set in a lovely way.
The TV is teasing me with a vague advert for GBSB - Great British Sewing Bee! I can't wait! Who knew hobbies like sewing and baking would make great TV? I wish they would bring back the pottery version - I only did it at school but it made great watching as it was so easy for it all to go wrong.
We had far less this year. I think this was mainly to do with the very, very windy weather we’ve been having in Devon since last night. But I still managed to count:
ReplyDelete4 Starlings
2 Goldfinches
7 Sparrows
2 Blackbirds
3 Collared Doves
1 Robin
3 Wood Pigeons
2 Jackdaws
1 Magpie
3 Coal Tits
1 Great Tit
No doubt in a couple of days time, when it’s bit calmer, our garden will be awash with Starlings and Sparrows again!
I was watching the starlings tonight flicking to the trees in what seemed like hundreds. I hope yo take part in this bird watch in the future.
