Big Garden Birdwatch

For some years the RSPB have been running a garden birdwatch on the last weekend in January. The public are invited to take part by watching and recording the birds they see in one hour in their garden or a park and sending in their results by post or online. My results for this year were

Blackbird : 2
Blue tit : 2
Coal tit : 1
Great tit : 2
Chaffinch : 1
House sparrow : 3
Robin : 1
Woodpigeon : 1
Starling: 3
Crow: 2

For the last couple of days we had long-tailed tits, goldfinches, apair of collared doves and a female sisken visiting, But of course they were nowhere to be seen today. As we were watching two swans flew overhead, something I've never see from the garden before. Can't be counted of course because they didn't land.
