What birds do you see when you wake up in the morning and look in your garden? This morning in my garden I had 3 Blackbirds, 3 Starlings, 1 Wood Pigeon, 1 Pigeon, 2 Dunnocks, 1 Robin and a few Blue Tits on the feeder :t:

In addition to what you have, can hear Wren, Blue Tit and Great Tit singing as I type this.
Have heard Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Great Spotted and Green Woodpecker this morning too.

I have evening grosbeaks, black capped chickadees, red breasted nuthatches, downy and hairy woodpeckers, purple finches, whiskey jacks (Gray Jays), the odd crow and starling... but my juncos left again! :( And I've been hearing the great Pileated Woodpecker too... saw him a couple of days ago!

We ve got green finch, chaffinch, blue tit, great tit, robin, chiffchaff and of course the inevitble blackbird. Nothing spectacular - but for a backgarden in central Munich not too bad.
Every day I look out for the return of the blackcap which usually nests in a bush right below our 2nd floor balcony.

Normally at this time of year I see greenfinch, robin, house sparrow, starling, blackbird, blue tit, dunnock, wren, collared dove. Quite frequent: magpie, jackdaw, goldfinch, chaffinch, great tit. Occasional: long-tailed tit, pied wagtail. But we're getting to the time of year when almost anything might turn up, eg whinchat, black redstart, blackcap, chiffchaff (all seen in previous years).
Should have our house martins back soon, too :-)
