Although not sure about the cheating bit - a garden has to be pretty defined if you're going to call it garden birding/a garden list whatever....Anyway, not really trying to pinpoint your location, but wondered if you were down Penselwood way at first, (3 counties meeting), but then you seem to be reasonably-ish close to Glastonbury so maybe not....Had a couple of birds on my garden list when we lived in Wincanton which don't think you've got yet- Firecrest and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. And they were proper, in the garden, which measured about 10 by 12 metres! Woodcock through the garden one evening, also had a Honey Buzzard fly low over and directly overhead once, which was fairly gobsmacking. On the other hand, not sure if our list was that high - I think I got up to 80 or 90 or so within a 2 mile radius of the house... that'll probably take you about another 3 weeks at the rate you're going?? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
