Over the last 2 nights managed to dream of Nuthatch and Hawfinch, both probably from the garden, don't think I can count them?

Otherwise, today -

27) Great Spotted Woodpecker
28) Rook
29) Pheasant
30) Dunnock (h)
 
Nope, can't count them but a nice start to your list.


Cheers ;) . If I can race ahead now I might not get caught for a little while? There was another Sandwich Tern 2 weeks ago, Siskins seem to have vacated the park, and there are 2 Red-breasted Mergansers on the river, but unfortunately the bit they were on is hidden behind some trees ... :C

Anyway ... ;)

31) Teal c.10
32) Mallard 2 in flight
33) Moorhen
34) Kingfisher

All at the obligatory 1200 metre range.
 
A couple more ...

35) Collared Dove 2 in flight
36) Siskin 6+

Streaking ahead .. (well with the Siskins anyway ;) ). Looks like they're still in the vicinity. Feral pigeons recorded too. Only birds in the garden so far were 2 Magpies on the garage roof.
