And there was me thinking you'd be getting a bumper crop!
I had to wait two days to get Long-taile tit, then 15 turned up to raid the feeder together! Attracted a Sparrowhawk to battle the winds.

Are we still not allowed to count Feral Pigeon seeing as I've seen a few already?

Flock of Fieldfare over..37...now more than half last years total! (that's 20 in and 17 out). Unsure how this compares with last years..from a date value perspective (6 days into the year). Remiss of me..should have dated all the entries. However I suspect that both years lists will differ considerably away from the hard core of ''regulars'', (amazing to think that e.g. Little Egret is now a regular with House Sparrow and Bullfinch no longer being so). I was extremely lucky to get c10 species last year ie Pied Wagtail and Rook for e.g. (Rook being only my second record and Pied Wagtail my third!) I look forward to the next 359 days with trepidation.

Wall to wall blue sky this morning..and whilst I remember...heard my first Blackbird for the year singing! plus showing the proprietary garden shot...with a bird I first saw 33 years ago on the edge of a sun parched Greek delta ''umbrella-ing'' it's wings in order to espy the fish in it's shadow. A lifer for me at the time, and still pretty rare in the UK (If memory serves). Now incongruously they have become fairly frequent (Winter mainly) fishing the stream outback. I'm hoping ''Egretta foresta'' might become another split.

Bah humbug
That must have been a sight! I guess they had to hold their tails up in the air to stop them getting wet?
