Luxury! I work in a warehouse with no windows, so the only birds I see at work are those that end up in the warehouse. So far that's: Feral Rock Dove, Woodpigeon, Robin, and Sparrowhawk.
Now that I'm working in Carmarthenshire I feel like I'm quite spoilt bird wise. I quite often stop and have my sandwiches whilst out and about as well. Birds seen so far include:
Peregrine
Long-Tailed Duck
Ruff
Goldeneye
Whooper Swans
Goosander
Raven
Red Kite
Tree Sparrow
Kingfisher
Stroll on Spring:-O

Haha! Very good. In fact, you don't know how close you are, as I share the surname and initials of a certain South-African born England cricketer from the 1980s!
Great patch
Spent about half an hour at the lighthouse: gulls galore, plenty of passing guillemot, and several RT divers. One or two gannet way out, too, but other than eider, no sea ducks, unfortunately.

I work at the Library of Congress in DC. Plenty of mockingbirds here. That's about it. (Unless you want to count the starlings and house sparrows, which I don't.)

On my lunch I watched a Magpie in the field.

Yesterday a Chiffchaff from my School lab window.
Lovely views of Red Kite and a Common Buzzard whilst driving home along the A48 today.

I work in Liverpool city centre in an office sandwiched between the River Mersey and an unused dock.
So you get the usual gulls, mallard, coots, Canada geese and cormorants. In the vegetation near the car park you get goldfinch, robin, blackbirds and remarkably unwary dunnock. Pied wagtails on the paved areas.
Less often I've seen turnstone and oystercatcher flying up the river. The strangest sighting was a grey partridge that landed in the car park.

My job takes me to our project office in Oxfordshire a couple of times a week and there are usually several red kites on show over the car park and adjacent railway land where the office is based. This last few days they have been displaying and generally enjoying the big blue. It is a real treat and a conversation point for everyone standing at the smoking shelter. Even all the non birders are fascinated by the superb close up views. I counted more individuals in one day than there were in the whole of the UK 30 years ago.
PS Read your trip report. Bad luck on the Caper front I will let you know if we get on any better next month.

I work offshore on survey vessels so am quite mobile. Depending on where we are in the world.
When not offshore I work from home a lot. Birds seen from my office window include Pallid Harrier, Rosy Starling and plenty more. I see White-tailed Eagles pretty much every day. I include few pics that I have taken whilst working from my home office (in Øygarden close to Bergen, SW Norway)

I forgot to say, I used to work on a chemical plant up here in the North East, and the large gravel areas behind some of the manufacturing buildings used to be a good breeding ground for Oystercatcher. The site was fully secure, so despite the safety booted operators trudging close by and the occasional sulphurous smell, it was probably a good choice!
So far I've seen Jackdaws and heard Robin in the tree.
