RSPB Make your nature count

I did my nature count last Thursday whilst my little one was at school. It was great just to sit and watch the garden without having to get up and do something else! I had some decent results.

2 Dunnocks
1 Robin
1 Blue Tit
5 Starlings
8 House Sparrows
5 Goldfinch
2 Blackbird
1 Magpie
1 Collared Dove
1 Woodpigeon

Unfortunately I couldn't see any Swifts - well not until my hour was up of course! It also provided my first sighting this year of two juvenile Goldfinch which flew in briefly and returned with a third later in the afternoon.

    I`ve not seen any juvenile Goldfinches yet, Pam.
    PS : looks like quite a few of us have had a template change on our blogs.

    Thanks very much Roger!

    Dean, the juvenile Goldfinch turned up here just about the same time as they did last year, strange to see them without the red face.

    Thanks Linda, there has been quite a few about near my house but the young ones don't often make it into the garden.
