Just walking the dog and it reminded me of:

19. Tawny Owl

Now you say your dog looks like an owl?

Are you querying my ID skills?

Just remembered a few more.

20. GSW
21. Nuthatch
22. Magpie

Treverva

11. Song Thrush

Also plenty of Short-tailed Field Voles under the corrugated.

Up again today. Biggest surprise was blue skies, sunshine and not a breath of wind. Feels like years since I last experienced that, and not being funny but it is definitely some months in reality.

Anyway ...

12. Carrion Crow
13. Rook
14. Woodpigeon
15. Blue Tit
16. Redwing
17. Bullfinch (heard only)
18. Dunnock singing
19. Buzzard. 2 spiralling and calling

Counted 5 Robin and 4 Wrens in the frost initially. Baby Field Voles under the corrugated. Bunny scut seen (assumption being that the rest of the bunny was attached).

Watching the Meadow Pipit on the lawn to see a small bird fly across - opened back door, and yes, Goldcrest in the small conifer.

A pleasant addition indeed, given my habitat.

It’s always great!....when an “out of habitat” bird drops-in, or flys over.👍

37. Ruby-crowned Kinglet
I'm surprised I haven't got this one yet. It's one of the most common species here in the winter. I'm almost out of winter species to add to the list. I probably only have 10 more possibilities to add for the next three months, unless I get some lucky flyovers.

Indeed, Ken! Gotta love those flyovers.

23. Fish Crow

was heard only from the bedroom window, the first one here since last September.

25) Buzzard
26) Drat, I've already forgotten what it was. I'm too young to have a senior moment .... Wahhhh !!!! Will come back later ....

January 9th.
Managed to get a one hour session in before thick mist suddenly formed. And glad I did.
41. Wigeon - five flew north
Not only an excellent garden year tick but it finally takes me up to #100 for my garden list. It has taken me four years and two days, and I must admit the Covid lockdowns have helped.

[Farnboro John]

Update from in the week:

28. House Sparrow
29. Great Spotted Woodpecker

With luck I might get out into the back garden for an hour or two today, fill in some common gaps.
