Have just completed my Birdwatch and bit disapointed at the bird varieties (they must have known and stayed away). Was hoping for my Goldfinches to put in appearance and the Blue tits, but didn't happen. I have had Pied Wagtails in abundance, and I thought they didn't feed in gardens!! They are happily feeding among the Starlings and Sparrows. Lots of Red Kite overhead but obviously that doesn' count. I will order them for next time lol
Make a special place for wildlife. They deserve it!
I had a grand total of 4 birds during my hour!!! Probably didn't help that it was raining for 40mins of that hour!
Managed 8 species, with our local robin turning up at the last minute. Couple of long tailed tits coming and going all te hour and a couple of blue tits visited one of our nest boxes.
