Big Garden Birdwatch 2013

I did the usual RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend; counting the number of species you see in an hour. As there was thick snow on the ground it was a bit different to usual [no Collared Doves!] but I saw 16 species - a new record.


Blackbird 2
Blue Tit 3
Carrion Crow 1
Chaffinch 2
Coal Tit 1
Dunnock 2
Goldfinch 3
Great Tit 1
House Sparrow 9
Magpie 1
Robin 1
Starling 3
Woodpigeon 5
Fieldfare 1
Siskin 2
Common Gull 2

Tree Sparrow
Tuesday I saw a Tree Sparrow, Friday I saw a Goldcrest in the garden, then today I saw a Moorhen on the Moor for the first time. So plenty going on.
