Big Garden Birdwatch - NOT amateur radio

Every year about now, the RSPB carries out an annual survey to find the health of our bird populations in our gardens. I have done this now for many years. You are asked to record the maximum number of each species seen at one time. I chose to do 1530z -1630z thinking I might catch birds coming in to feed before dark. What a disappointment! In all just 6 species seen , mostly larger birds. The bird table was well stocked. Quite a few common birds were absent.
  • Starling 9
  • Woodpigeon 2
  • Crow 9
  • Robin 1
  • Blackbird 1
  • Collared Dove 1
You do not have to be an RSPB member and the survey runs until Monday.
