Yes, I'll be doing my usual yearly count just after we have lunch. Would be fun to post what we seen to see how it varies over the country?? (wonder if my hens count - -lol)

[Shelley123]

yes CM it would be good to compare notes.
At the moment i'm sat sitting but the birds have stood me up, think i will try again a bit later,lol

[Shelley123]

i saw 1 Robin
1 Woodpidgeon
2 Great Tits
less than usual i think perhaps because it is quite windy

My count was down on last year but not too bad.
5 blue tits
3 great tits
pied wagtail
2 magpies
pheasant
blackbird
wren
chaffinch

(and 5 hens squashed thru the fence!!!! lol)

My count (disappointing)
1 blackbird
1 great tit
2 bluetits
1 collar dove
1 robin

[Kazz]

Well mine was

20+ starlings
1 robin
1 blackbird (who kept coming back) and does bully the other birds out of the way hence why I think the starlings come mob handed.....

And it was very windy here too.
