Big Garden Birdwatch 2023- Share with us what you saw.

I have many visitors everyday. This morning between 9am and 10 am I saw 2 robins, four starlings, 4 blue tits, I coal tit, 2 great tits , 8 long tailed tits, a pair of bull finches, a pair of mistletoe thrushes, three blackbirds, one great spotted woodpecker, one wren, 5 hedge sparrows, two dunnocks, four gold finches.
I feed them peanuts, meal worms and suet blocks. I feed them early morning and late afternoon.

I also had three wood pigeons

My visitors were less than usual, maybe the dull drizzly weather.
1 robin
1 great tit
1 great spotted woodpecker
1 long tailed tit
2 nuthatches
2 wood pigeons
2 dunnocks
3 coal tits
3 blue tits
I’d put out a mixture of peanuts, mixed seeds and grains, sunflower hearts and fat balls

This is the second year that I have taken part in this survey and really enjoyed my hour of sitting and watching the birds in my garden.

7 Blackbirds
1 Magpie
1 Durnock
2 Goldfinch
7 Robins
10 Tree Sparrows
11 Starlings
5 Blue Tits
1 Great Tit
1 Woodpigeon

All the above was in the first half-hour of the watch then the neighbour at the bottom of my garden decided to get his ladders our climb on the roof and start removing the tiles and banging which frightened the birds away. I sat it out for the rest of the hour but no more visitors. Was totally gutted, but it happens. Still what I saw bought a lot of joy to my morning.

Follow up on my recent post. I fully intend to carry on watching and recording the number of sighting in my garden on a weekly basis throughout the year. I have found the whole experience truly fascinating.
