Big Garden Birdwatch takes place this weekend. I’ll be doing mine on Saturday.

 

[Steve Lister]

I got the dates wrong and did it yesterday!
Hopefully next weekend will be better.

 

[YuShan]

I usually pick the first date with good weather. They all look good at the moment, so it will probably be Friday.

 

[Euan Buchan]

I think I’ll be doing mine on Friday because it looks drier Sat & Sun look wet .

 

[JonathanGallagher]

Doing mine on Saturday with the kids hopefully better then the 2 Woodpigeons we got last year

Not too bad, with Goldcrest featuring for the first time in my Big Garden Birdwatch. Nuthatch heard but not seen, so not countable unfortunately. Also three grey squirrels.

Was going to do mine today but decided to do it tomorrow

Going to do ours Sunday we really enjoy doing the big count every year and recording our results. Good luck everyone hope you all get some great counts.

Had to postpone my Big Garden Birdwatch till tomorrow. It’s far too windy today and I haven’t even seen a single bird yet and I doubt they will be going to the feeders. Tomorrow morning looks a calmer better day.

Managed to find an hour between the end of one storm and the start of another. Not great for the number of species actually in the garden, only 5. I could have trebled that with birds in the grassy area just outside, or the neighbours garden. Most frustratingly there was a single Waxwing in a tree just outside the garden who refused to fly the eight feet from that tree to the one in the garden that would have enabled me to count him!
Chaffinch - 30+
Robin - 1
Goldfinch - 7
Brambling - 6
Siskin - 3
