It is the RSPB Garden Birdwatch this weekend - https://www.rspb.org.uk/get-involved/activities/birdwatch/?channel=paidsearch&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj-XWjKT22AIVb7XtCh0lUg3mEAAYASAAEgJxz_D_BwE

I don't think I'll be able to do mine tomorrow so hopefully Sunday I'll get an hour to watch the birds in my garden.

:thanks: For the reminder Grayling,it seems to have come around again very quickly.

It has given rain for most of the day today so I think I will wait until tomorrow too.

Thanks for the reminder Grayling.

Did an hour this morning and it was very productive before the rain set in.

Bot bad at all John, we managed 13 species in an hour but it's a shame that they don't do it over a longer period, say a week or so.

We didn't do too badly, 11 species although we had 19 species in the garden in total that day. Garden Birdwatch rules are stricter though as flyovers don't count.

Blackbird 3
Goldfinch 6
House Sparrow 5
Siskin 12
Chaffinch 30+
Blue Tit 2
Greenfinch 4
Brambling 2
Robin 2
Great Tit 1
Starling 2

Earlier in the day we'd had 12 Goldfinches, but I was pleased the Bramblings made an appearance at the right time. So far this month we've had at least one Brambling every day.
