I have just submitted my report only three species sighted. It has been the worse record ever for birds and I assume the mild weather allows the birds to get their food naturally without having to rely on garden feeders.
I wonder what that was that just flew past??
In reply to doggie:
I've had six starlings and one sparrow :( I'll have a go tomorrow and see what comes in

Just sat and watched for my hour, so disheartening, the result was nothing! But I had time to contemplate my garden and alter it, maybe the birds will be back for next year! With these next 3 weeks of cold snap they will probably need us. I have 11various feeders all full going to waste :(.
In reply to RosieB:
Ah so sad!! but at least they are there should they be needed when time get harder as Arnie said in Terminator "They will be back" used a little licence on that one
In reply to TerryRobbins:
Everytime I do birdwatch the birds seem to know when I'm doing it and vanish. So this time changed when I was going to do it at the last moment and it paid dividends. 8 different species.
In reply to Toby Coulson:
I must of fooled my lot 13 species in a hour on Sunday 7:45 - 8:45.
Did discover that most of my little diamonds use the hanging birdtable so will keep a closer eye on that in the future.
Was a lot more relaxed this being my 2nd year and did the full hour in one go as opposed to 4 quarters last year.
A very old Shropshire Lad.
In reply to ChrisS.:
We have a had a good hour with 13 species. In reality I only did the watch for 45 minutes because the idiot next door scared them all off by hammering in his garden and than I spent 15 minutes chasing the squirrels off the feeders!
