Thanks everyone, it's still in the garden this morning.
It was a good bird day yesterday as we had to go to Annecy shopping, I had a quick scoot up to the chateau and had TWO Wallcreepers on the tower :t:

Ah, you've got me there though, I haven't got Wallcreeper (or Citril F) on my British list :-C

 

[Larry Lade]

Thanks for the ID of your bird Richard!

Had a lazy morning watching MOTD in bed and noticed a Common Buzzard and Raven flying over. Must say I'm hugely impressed with some the garden birds being reported here.

Citril Finch, Wallcreeper even Black Kite would be lifer for me :eek!:

Meanwhile in my garden: #19. Bullfinch. I allready think that they don't come this winter at all...

 

[Peter C.]

Wow! Things really are slow here, by comparison....

Sunday, March 01:

12) Red-breasted Nuthatch

 

[Richard Prior]

One more for the year:

41 Crested Tit

Frustratingly heard only as I was clearing snow in front of the house and it was doing its scolding trill around the back! The first in the garden since last October, so instead of being a regular visitor to the feeders through the winter as it would normally be, this species has been totally absent, though plentiful just half a mile away in the forest.

 

[Barrie Hamill]

49. Jackdaw
50. Gannet
51. Ringed Plover
52. Grey Heron
53. Bar-tailed Godwit

I have seen quite a few Mallards, but somehow they have not made my 2015 Missouri List.
#58 is Mallard

I also got Mallards this morning. #24 Pitiful list. Wish my parents had a more bird friendly yard! Just down the road at the Huntington Beach Central Park the birding is great!

Mallard did make my 2015 Missouri List, not my 2015 Yard List!

Despite the return of Oystercatchers and Curlews to the moors none has flown over the garden yet...

 

[Warixenjalka]

Yesterday in the evening within 10 minutes:
#20 Herring Gull
#21 Great Black-backed Gull

PS. It goes maybe a month before the Oystercatchers and Curlews are here...
