[Gill Osborne]

I've actually got the day off this year instead of working so will be out at first light. First three I reckon will be...

1: Jackdaw
2: Herring Gull
3: Blue Tit

All from living room window.

 

[Larry Lade]

Glad you have the day off, Gill. Good Bird Watching....to start off the New Year!

 

[Stuart D]

Elaine Linda Emma.

 

[mali]

Stuart D...I was tempted to go with a similar version to yours, but refrained.

 

[dantheman]

Seagull, seagull and seagull.

Or perhaps Herring Gull, Blackbird and Carrion Crow if it's still dark.

 

[halftwo]

Just after midnight I expect to hear Song Thrush, Robin, & either Blackbird or Wren.

 

[timsg80]

I'll go for Magpie-lark, Noisy Miner and Pied Butcherbird.

 

[Jon Turner]

I'll go for Magpie-lark, Noisy Miner and Pied Butcherbird.

I'd like to see these, but will probably end up with Jackdaw, Blackbird and Herring Gull.....

 

[Steve Lister]

If things go to plan I will be at Rutland Water as it gets light and so the first three actually seen might be

Mute Swan
Goosander
Black-headed Gull

as they will stand out in the gloom.

[Farnboro John]

Tawny Owl, Robin, Blackbird, though those may well all be heard records. I shall be out at least two hours before it gets light.

Robin and Blackbird still good bets for the first seen birds with Carrion Crow also likely.

 

[stuartvine]

Robin (the little sod will wake me up)
Starling
Black-headed Gull

 

[ovenbird43]

Most likely:

American Crow
House Sparrow
Ring-billed Gull

Unless I'm out of town at first light.

 

[Sandra (Taylor)]

Could bet on mine being:

Jackdaw
Feral Pigeon
Goldfinch

 

[delia todd]

Mine would be

Blue Tit
Coal Ti....
... but the third is a bit more tricky to pick. It might depend what time I wake up, but the main contenders would be Starling, Blackbird, Crow, Wood Pigeon.

 

[fugl]

California Quail
Western Scrub-jay
House Finch

That is, unless there's a Cooper's Hawk about in which case I won't see anything at all. . ..
