Big Garden Birdwatch - 28/1/2017

I woke up as early as I could on a Saturday morning - 9:30 - to conduct the garden birdwatch. This is an annual count of all bird species and numbers that appear in gardens over the period of an hour. My garden is fairly big, shared between four flats, dominated by grass and with a variety of different sized trees. Being a suburban garden, near to the country  I  had quite a few species come through.

Ok so here are the records:
Blackbird - 7 - the largest number I've seen in the garden
Starling - 8
Wood Pigeon - 5
Collared Dove - 5
Blue Tit - 2
Goldfinch - 5
Magpie - 1
Crow - 2
Long Tailed Tit - 2
Chaffinch -1

There you go, not much, but I didn't have to leave my flat, so there's an upside to it.
