How was the Big Garden Birdwatch for you?

What did you see? Starlings were my star bird - two of them in fact. The buggy nibbles put out in my garden were clearly irresistible this pair - it's just a shame they didn't bring the rest of the flock that was circling round overhead (which obviously I didn't count!).

Anyway, I've picked this great image of a shiny, iridescent starling munching its way through a whole string of fat balls for today's Monday moment.

As well as the starlings, four greenfinches, a blackbird and one blue tit graced my garden - which I think is not bad for a tiny patch of grass, a few plants and a couple of well-stocked feeders.

This is one of thousands of images available on RSPB Images - why not see if you can find an image of the birds that visited your garden this weekend? Trust me, there's some crackers.
