Oh dear !

Our saturday was a bit like that, I think we only had about two birds in the times I looked out - hence the Sunday count instead and even that had a lot fewer species than usual.

Guys and Gals,

Where have the all the bullfinches and coal tits gone. I used to see them regularly in my garden in small numbers, but none for nearly two years now.

your coal tits and bullfinches are in my garden! although the 4 coal tits that were here earlier have departed for the forests....the bullfinches remain here in flocks of 2-6...they never eat artificial food..only what they find in the trees.
