RSPB Annual Birdwatch
January 31, 2021
Don't forget that this weekend is THE time to put aside an hour to observe what birds you have visiting your garden over a 1-hour period (you choose the time).
See RSPB Birdwatch
We decided to have 8.15-9.15am this morning, soon after it got light and when everyone was hungry after the frosty night. Food we used to encourage was wild bird seed / sunflower hearts / crushed peanuts / fatballs / dried mealworms.
Birds observed were;
Blackbird (m) 7, (f) 3
Blue Tit 2
Coal Tit 1
Collared Dove 10
Dunnock 4
Great Tit 2
Jackdaw 17
Long Tailed Tit 3
Magpie 4
Nuthatch 3
Robin 5
Wood Pigeon 11
Wren 1
These were taken at home, not on the Home Reserve - or numbers would have been much higher (and been cheating!)
