RSPB Garden Birdwatch


Hi Guys- Did any of you 'Cardies' take part in the RSPB's annual (30th) Garden Birdwatch this weekend? Of course I'm in the adjoining County but here is my list anyway. Blackbird (2), Blue Tit (8), Coal Tit (4), Great Tit (3), Greenfinch (4), Chaffinch (16), Robin (2), Goldfinch (1), Song Thrush (1), Nuthatch (2), House Sparrow (9), Magpie (2), Great Spotted Woodpecker (2), Long-tailed Tit (5). The Long-tailed Tits have only appeared with me this year after many years of feeding birds at my home I suppose its due to the exceptionally hard weather this winter. I took a photo which is attached but it isn't much good I'm afraid as it was taken through my kitchen window and the little beggars don't keep still for long! They are delightful birds and I am so pleased that they are now visiting my garden. I would be interested to know if any of you have carried out this survey and have had any scarcer birds in your garden.
