Big Garden Birdwatch

Since we've sited a bird feeding station outside the kitchen window, washing the dishes has become much more enjoyable. We have a peanut feeder and a seed feeder, which are visited by plenty of birds. Last week was the annual Big Garden Birdwatch, organised by the RSPB. The idea is that you watch birds (and other wildlife) for one hour, and count what you see.

In our hour, we saw chaffinch


blue tits


great tits


The birds which we see currently, but were absent through our hour were, long tailed tits, up to 12 at a time. My personal favourite. 


Gold finch


Green finch


woodpecker, both male and female


wren 

robin


dunnock


siskin


Anyone else take part? What do you have in your garden?
