I know that it's a completely pointless nitpicking, but my observations are in Poland :)

(The smiley relates to the fact that it took me a lot of effort to be able to stay there during the current situation and I am happy about it!)

Oops, not nitpicking tick hitting. Apols, will amend in next update. Btw Tree Sparrow - a major rarity eg SW England, and not doing so well elsewhere in UK, had Collared Dove yesterday.

By 'this week', do you mean since the 1st??
 
Just looked at list; can add Gadwall and Common Pochard as well, from this morning (I just assumed they'd already be on!), and a UK Tree Spug too :t:

Fish Crow
American Crow
Downy Woodpecker
Blue Jay
Northern Cardinal
House Sparrow
American Robin
Eurasian Starling
 
Would you like a contribution from my garden in the Gambia? Not strictly on lock down here, but today's the day I should have been flying home after a three-month working holiday. The sun is so fierce between midday and 5pm I spend most of my time in self-imposed lock down anyway, between those hours. I've also deliberately bot gone out a few times when I could just to see how it feels to be so restricted. I hadn't seen much from my high-walled garden prior to Dan starting this thread, but I've seen a few bits since then that may be of interest? Plus it'll help keep me going for however long I'm stuck here.

If you're stuck there due to Coronavirus ... why not I guess? It's all about vicarious pleasure and pain ...
 
Updated Europe list to Mandarin; 125. Apols for any omissions etc as ever.
