Bird watching

Hi Everyone we are Linda and Kevin from South Wales. This is also our first time on the BIG GARDEN WATCH, and a neighbour of Maggies, who kindly brought it our attention.- Hi Maggie, Looking forward to counting some birds, but at the moment no littlies only medium and biggies so to speak as not much garden cover, still getting established.

Hello to Linda and Kevin :)

I joined at the start of the month, and this community has constantly been friendly and fun! Ive gone from having sparrows and blackbirds to redwings and bullfinches, all thanks to my  friends here. Also if you need help with ID everyone is always willing to pitch in!

Hello Linda and Kevin, a warm welcome to the RSPB Community, from a fellow South-Walean.

You may want to check out the Newport Wetlands Community Area of the site, We have a few regulars from the South Wales area there.

Hope you enjoy your first BGBW and the site in general  :)

Hello Nigel, yes thank you

Linda and Kevin.

Hello Maggie, I'm new to this too. Recently joined the RSPB after an open day being held near Inverness. Hub made a fab metal bird feeder holder recently and within days it had attracted same as yourself plus a Woodpecker!! first time I've seen one & hoping he returns! lol. Linnie xx

Hello everybody, are you getting excited for this weekend? I am hoping to, but kept an eye out this last weekend and saw nothing:(. My results last year were really good and my feeders were emptied daily, this year they have been staying full! I just hope I get visited this weekend. Fingers X'd from Rose a South Walean!

Looking forward to my first bird watch, hope the little ones come!!!!!!!!!! There have been very few birds just Goldfinches .Robin but no Sparrows in any form or shape.

I've received my BGBW pack today!  Soooo excited for this weekend :-)

I am a newbie to the forum too - but welcome anyways from Sussex.
