Oh OK then
Garden List Thones, Haute Savoie (6kms down the valley from our place and at 600m asl instead of our 1000m, the only plus for me is that I can see the river so Dipper is a real possibility):

Common Buzzard
Mistle Thrush
Blackbird
Robin
Marsh Tit
Crested Tit
Blue Tit
Great Tit
Carrion Crow
Magpie
Raven
House Sparrow
Chaffinch

Quarter way up an Alp then?! Game of Thones - still ok, and I guess if you were desperate you could nip home to check the bunting flocks ... ?

30 : Golden Plover

A nocturnal visit to the bathroom produced a Tawny Owl calling. no.30. followed later by a flyover Starling no.31, certainly not even weekly here, even though there is a favoured garden 250m away up the hill + a party of long-tails through no.32.

 

[Richard Prior]

My game of Thones (as Dan puts it) continues to make me appreciate home sweet home all the more, just one addition, a heard only

14 Coal Tit

Mind you, on popping home for 20 minutes this morning there was nothing to be seen (admittedly it was all shrouded in thick cloud).

If you hadn't mentioned someone else would have picked you up on it soon enough. At least you twigged yourself.

[Paul Chapman]

I should really keep a list for my Dad's garden in Essex. So much better than mine. Sparrowhawk, Red Kite, talon grappling Buzzards, Great Spotted Woodpecker & overlying Mallards in the middle of Harlow in ten mins putting my garden into the shade. I passed my driving test & drove from here to mid-Wales to tick Red Kite in 1988 & I ticked Buzzard in Scotland in 1983. It would have been a dream to see a Buzzard here before I left home in the early 90's......

All the best

Paul
