We have had a busy weekend and didn't get a chance to get out walking at all, but we did manage a new record on the garden bird front. On Sunday we spotted eighteen different species of birds in our garden. Don't think we spend all day gazing out at the garden, we just keep an eye out when eating breakfast, washing up, passing the back door etc. It has been absolutely freezing all weekend (luckily we didn't get the snow like a lot of the country - just as well, no time for that carry on!!!) and we always attract more birds when it's a bit nippy out.
The last garden bird record for us was sixteen species at the end of Feb, so here is the new record breaking list.
- Greenfinch
- Goldfinch
- Blackcap
- Starling
- Rook
- Blackbird
- Blue Tit
- Robin
- Collared Dove
- Pied Wagtail
- Wood Pigeon
- Jackdaw
- Sparrow
- Siskin
- Chaffinch
- Song Thrush
- Dunnock
- Great Tit
