I did the garden
watch over the weekend.
I tried first on
Saturday. It was a damp & miserable day. As predicted the birds stayed away
where they could remain dry. All I saw in two hours were a couple of
wood-pigeons. Gulls flew overhead. The odd tit dashed across so quickly it was impossible
to identify which tit. Hopeless.
Sunday was quite a
different day. Overnight we had some snow. By the morning most had gone.
However, the soil was still white & frozen. The birds were clearly getting
desperate for food in this cold weather & a more representative sample of
our regular visitors came by, including a beautiful goldfinch with his painted clown
face.
Now I just have to
put in my results with the RSPB. This may prove harder than I thought as I seem
to be having difficulty with our internet connection. I’ll just have to
persevere. I will have succeeded if you are able to read this blog.
