RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch

 

Last weekend D and I took part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch.

We saw the following birds:

Wood Pigeon 3

Dunnock 1

Blackbird 1

Robin 1

Coal Tit 1

Blue Tit 4

Great Tit 2

Carrion Crow 1

Magpie 1

As always many species failed to turn up. The most surprising omission were Goldfinches who are always on the feeders.  There was a cat in the garden at the start of the survey which may initially have kept birds from visiting.

It was certainly our lowest total for many years. In 2025 we saw 15 species and in 2024 14 species.  

There again every count is important to the RSPB however many species you see and it is always good fun to take part. We certainly enjoyed it :)
