Halfway up an Alp
I'm giving it a go this year. I retire in April and plan to spend much more time in the garden. I started paying attention on Garden Birdwatch weekend. Up to 28 so far with the best being Goldcrest, Bullfinch and Grey Heron.
Welcome aboard John! Are you close enough to the Severn Estuary to get flyover widfowl and waders?
Unlike Ken, I'm still waiting for the first House Sparrow here, they're wisely staying nice and cosy down the road at the nearest farm. I'm spending a lot of time scrutinising the Siskin and Goldfinch visitors in the hope of picking out a Redpoll or Citril Finch but no luck so far. A Pine Bunting mixed in with the half a dozen Yellowhamers would be nice...............................
