Me and my partner both love watching birds in our garden, and I wondered what birds other people get in theirs.
We live up north, next to fields, and we get all types. Magpies, crows, another one that looks like a crow but i'm told its not, starlings, sparrows, greattits, blue tits, coal Tits, wood pigeons, collared doves, black birds and jenny wrens.
I've seen a few more but I don't know all of their names.
My favourite is the black bird because I like to see them hunt worms.
