I’ve a feeling nowhere near 20 on my garden list in 8 years of living here. Genuinely not sure whether I’m up to double figures

Nice to see someone else also doing wider nature. Can’t wait for my first butterfly
 
66. Red Crested Pochard, at St James Park in London on Friday
Another thing I noticed was a hooded Merganser, I'm guessing it was a tame one, but that is the first time I've seen one in real life!
