Well, I didn't go outside today because the weather was pretty bad, but I've had 11 species in the garden. The usual suspects of course. And as I rightly thought, I saw Herring Gull literally as soon as I opened the curtains when I got up.

1. Herring Gull
2. Town Pigeon
3. Blue Tit
4. House Sparrow
5. Carrion Crow
6. Blackbird
7. Wood Pigeon
8. Great Tit
9. Fieldfare
10. Redwing
11. Chaffinch

As soon as I get out anywhere it'll obviously go shooting up!

Cheers,

Joseph
