Garden Birdwatch

Sunday, 28th January, 2007

WE SETTLE DOWN for an hour, pushing the sofa over to the patio windows so that we can take part in this weekend’s RSPB Garden Birdwatch. 11 until 12 isn’t the best time for birds but when you tot up the list over the whole hour the results are quite respectable:

pheasant
greenfinch
blue tit
goldfinch
robin
sparrow
willow tit
dunnock
great tit
chaffinch
blackbird
long-tailed tit

Regulars that didn't turn up during the hour: coal tit and sparrowhawk (which flew in not long after).
