So I filled in their form and I sent it to them, and I will see what they say about it. :t:I am sure that is not the last we have seen of the ringed starling as the Starlings pop in every day.  I will keep my eyes peeled for it.  Maybe there is more than one who knows. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Great listing of birds Deborah, despite of the neighbor problems.  Trust the cats to turn up at the wrong moment. :CWith bird counts you count the most that you see of that type of bird at one time.  For example if you see one blackbird, you count one tick, than 3 others join it it counts as 4.  They fly off and then another 3 Blackbirds appear at one time, it still counts as 4 blackbirds.I have to say someone made a loud bang noise here, and that caused the birds to disappear for a good 5 mins,  Then they did a lesser bang.  So noise is annoying at the wrong moment in  the hour.So that is 2009 Birdwatch over now - hard to believe as it feels nothing from last years one,</blockquote>
