Big Garden Birdwatch

[Tilly2]

...what a waste of time that was.
2 blue tits
14 sparrows
2 Blackbirds.
Usually my garden is teeming with birds. I reckon there was a sparrowhawk about somewhere.

Did you have more luck than me?

We were going to do it but there was nothing about - shame really as we get loads of birds including wrens, warblers, robins and if you count what you can see from the window we also get a heron, buzzards and ride kites (and you can hear the owls at night).

I wonder if the windy weather had anything to do with the lack of birds, Sherr?

[sherrardk]

Could be - didn’t do it last year either because of the snow.

Tilly2 might do mine next week

I should have done it yesterday, when the garden was a full of birds. :-(

Tony, I might try again in the week, if the weather improves. I don't suppose it matters that much if it's not actually this weekend's sightings.

I also have a fair few birds over the course of an hour but this weekend was very disappointing. Even my Robin didn't show.

There are lots of birds in my garden this morning.
