At long last, the Chiffy that's been on territory down the road for the last 3 months, was audible from the front garden this morning - a combination of it singing right on the N edge of its territory, and an S wind to carry the sound :t:
36 Chiffchaff

78 Cedar Waxwing Can't believe it took this long, they've been about for ages.

As you have a degree in mathematics perhaps you could explain how 78 Cedar Waxwing follows 76 Yellow-billed Cuckoo.

Eek.....and this is why you should never be on any form of social media with your parents - they check stuff!As you have a degree in mathematics perhaps you could explain how 78 Cedar Waxwing follows 76 Yellow-billed Cuckoo.
Turns out I had missed Veery from my list, so that was actually number 75, and the subsequent birds all needed bumping down the list. 78 still right. Ho hum.

I'll let you off then. Nothing new here yet but I have been away a lot.

Hello All,
Like Brenda, I'm seeing lots of to-ing and fro-ing of birds but no signs of early migrants yet. Still, after the species being absent hereabouts for the whole of the first half of the year, I finally have starting hearing that glip glip call and have also managed to see:
73 Crossbill
The first addition to the Garden Year list for 60 days! Now for the first Willow Warbler I hope!

79 American Redstart, small mixed groups of warblers starting to pass through now, but with many more leaves on the trees, paired with trickier ids from non-breeding plumage, not sure whether i'll add many more!

Broadly speaking you're right H....although generally speaking most of our local Swifts do the off! about now. That said, many years ago I had a single bird that appeared early evening for about a week...last seen on Sep.11th!
Been somewhat distracted from checking my home plot this summer, but a nice treeful this week - in one large mostly dead oak, a family of Nutcrackers on a lower branch, youngster begging for food; on the trunk midway up, family of Grey-headed Woodpeckers, youngsters squawking, on a branch near the top, family of Golden Orioles peering around!
No new species though.

We have moved(but not yet sold), we're still making maintenance visits to the garden so the list is still ticking!
Today saw the first sign of migration:
74 Willow Warbler
Strictly an autumn migrant through our patch,two or three appeared today.
