In the end I saw 9 species, though not in great numbers -
Robin 2
Starling 28 (this number is a garden record)
Coal Tit 1
Blue Tit 2
Goldfinch 2
Great Tit 2
Blackbird 1
House Sparrow 1
Long-tailed Tit 1 (the rest of the flock turned up about twenty minutes after the hour was up!)
A few photos taken through the window.
Sometimes low numbers are good, Pam, it reallay gives you a chance to study behaviour.
ReplyDeleteYes that's true!
DeleteThe Goldfinch is such a beautiful bird, so different from our American version.
ReplyDeleteOh it is, I love watching them in the garden.
Delete28 Starlings is a good record :)
ReplyDeleteI was quite pleased, even with the juveniles in the summer we've never had more than 25.
Delete28 starlings does sound a huge number, we had around 13 but they are down every morning as soon as the nibbles are put out:)
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot for my small garden :) They wait for the food and clear it in minutes sometimes don't they!
