Home

A cold start and a bright day and business as usual quietly chugging along in the garden. The female coal tit dropped in for a while over lunchtime, the male was calling from the trees further up the road but didn't visit today (I'm still quite pleased with myself that I can tell them apart).

  • Blackbird 2
  • Blue Tit 2
  • Carrion Crow 1
  • Coal Tit 1
  • Collared Dove 1
  • Dunnock 1
  • Feral Pigeon 3 overhead
  • Goldcrest 1
  • Goldfinch 3
  • Great Tit 2
  • Herring Gull 1 overhead
  • House Sparrow 13
  • Jackdaw 2
  • Long-tailed Tit 1
  • Magpie 1
  • Robin 2
  • Rook 1
  • Woodpigeon 2

Another sign of Spring to go with the crocuses in the garden: after the crowd scenes earlier this week the gulls are suddenly thin on the ground. All the black-headed gulls will soon be off to their breeding grounds.

  • Black-headed Gull 8
  • Common Gull 1
  • Herring Gull 1 1st-winter
  • Jackdaw 16
  • Rook 3
  • Starling 14
