House Sparrow definitely top (about 32 lately) and Jackdaw second. Probably Starling third.

Probably Magpie, Wood Pigeon and Blue Tit. Get Long-tailed Tits passing through surprisingly often as well, though.

Whoops, definitely no offense ment towards my fellow UK birders, I forget that the HOSP is well loved still in its original home territory (where its overall population hasn't gone rampant). Here, he has so overtaken many gardens, that many of our native songbirds have been pushed aside
and our native cavity nesters numbers are declining. Sorry about my slip.

your comment was a dethhhpicable slur on a fine bird!!
Seriously Shelley, If I may be just for a minute, I can understand why it is none too popular over there. But you have to admire it for coping so well. And the male especially is actually a rather attractive bird. Not flashy or anything, not cute but it has a certain something.

Starlings,esp juveniles,
Jackdaws
House Sparrows
closely followed by chaffinches.
Not a garden area,but backs onto allotments with lots of trees,from whence come the chaffinches,with Seagulls in hot pursuit whenever bread is around,also Collared Doves.
But I am banned from putting bread in the feeding tray,due to the Gulls doing their (you know what!!),on the neighbours washing!!.
Well,one has to compromise sometimes.

No room for people, when the Jackdaws are down, it's like a black living carpet, and when they are spooked, like something out of Hitchcock. They sit on the cables above the garden watching and waiting ....!
I do the BTO Garden Birdwatch, and its usually about 16-20 species per week, never get Jay, Woodpecker, Bullfinch, Thrush, Wood Pigeon, Chiff Chaff, although they are around the area, have seen or heard them in nearby woodland.
Well...
where I was staying in June (southern Iceland) it was 1) Great Skua, 2) Dunlin and 3) Meadow Pipit.
Today (northern Iceland) it has been 1) White Wagtail, 2) Black-headed Gull and 3) Common Redpoll.
Just wanted to make a change from all those starlings, tits and h sparrows! :eat:
