A very good point Grayling. It is possible that connecting gardens (who don't do the birdwatch but feed the birds) could be getting those species that are absent from your own garden, including those scarcities such as Blackcap, Redpoll, Long-tailed Tit and Goldcrest etc. It therefore makes the survey rather subjective in terms of it's findings....nonetheless, an extremely important survey to participate in and a great way of introducing children to garden wildlife.

Thank you Jen :cool3:

Dave, the weather was so bad in the end it didn't help either :impatient:

Another bird I don't get in the garden very often is Pied Wagtails but one has taken to visiting over the last few weeks.

Brilliant photos again Grayling. :cool:

I had a Pied wagtail in my garden the other day, sadly though it didn't stay very long.
I haven't seen a Song Thrush in my garden for a very long time, so a bit :jealous: :girlygiggle: but I have heard one singing close by. I do however get a Mistle Thrush, it likes the Mistletoe berries. :grin:

Thanks All :thankyou:

Marg, I don't think I have ever seen a Mistle Thrush - so the :jealous: is returned :girlygiggle:

Happyhare, when it looks straight at you like that it looks like he is thinking "What are you looking at" :girlygiggle:
