I did my garden bird count. I didn't see as many birds as I normally see in the garden. I did get a couple of surprises in my count.
3 Blackbird
1 Collared Dove
1 Robin
2 Blue tit
2 Dunnock
11 House sparrow
3 Starling
1 Chaffinch
3 Goldfinch
2 Coal tit
1 Wren
1 Tree creeper
Today I got the great tit , magpie, about 10 starlings as I wasn't counting today more goldfinches 2 rats and a squirrel. Then the tree that the tree creeper appeared from and came into my garden was cut down today. A quick question. With this tree being cut down, is this going to make a difference to the amount of birds in my garden.?
Nice selection mina.I had a dreadfull count 27 Goldies and one Dove so i really wish i had done mine Saturday when the garden was real busy.Think this is my worst year.
An optimist sees the beauty of the complete rose.A pessimist sees only the thorn .
I seem to have a few different species of bird this year than last. I never had chaffinches or dunnocks , wren and tree creeper this year. I probably won't get them back, as the person over the back of me has now cut the tree down.
Lovely list of birds Mina I managed to count 6 starlings and that is all. Today I've had the starlings thrush dunnock wood pigeon and a sparrowhawk trying to get my little dunnock out of the holly bush . Thankfully it didnt succeed. So I am wondering were they all hiding over the weekend lol.
The people across the road knocked down a dilapidated wall that was a nesting site,felled 4 trees and cleared the ivy from the remainder. Fair enough as the trees were suffering and they wanted a nice wall, but we now get no tits, no finches - very few birds.
