hi Sparrow
Thank you for the link - was just going to edit my post
Great to see that Sparrows are doing well.. Sparrow - your treasure pots
Yes it's great about the spadgers! Was surprised that the goldies only came in at #10 though! (#8 for Shropshire)

Wouldn't you just know that starlings came out top in Lancashire! They are all in my garden.
Hi
Great to see you've received our e-mail, Blackbird :)
You might want to chat about your Big Garden Birdwatch results over in the BGBW group ....
Get all the latest news fromYnys-hir - the home of BBC Springwatch 2011!
We took part for the first time. Spotted only a few birds in that hour, couple of starlings, some sparrows and a couple of chaffinches.
A couple of hours later the garden was full of goldfinches, chaffinches, greenfinches, sparrows, and starlings! We also saw, later a couple of jackdaws. I am never sure which of the tits we see as they are far too fast for me:)
Obviously , they knew I was counting them on the day and all decided to wait till later to appear. We often get a dozen or more goldfinches on the feeders in our garden - we are about 20 miles south of Aberdeen on the North east coast of Scotland.
Hello Sandieg and Welcome to the RSPB Forum
Great selection of birds including the illusive Greenfinches
For your first BGB Watch that is a good result for you
Well done
Thank you, I hope next time to get a better selection.
