From memory it was 9 Ring-necked Parakeets + 2 Blue Tits sitting in the birch in the back garden about 3.15. Didn't look out again after that.
I'm sure a Robin singing before dawn in the garden will be my first of 2020!
In the end in a minute Robin trailed at 4th for first bird of the year. As I opened the front door heard a Magpie which I saw about a second later, simultaneously spotting a Wood Pigeon sitting on a chimney. Then 3 Herring Gulls passed over. It was then the Robin announced its presence by a burst of song!
