I have book marked that bu I don't have a garden
You don't need a garden, go to the park and count there. All of the information is on the page I've linked to. :)
That is what I shall be doing
I often talk to the RSPB chaps that do the count on th Exe Estuary of the wintering birds. It's very intersting
I really enjoyed doing the last survey, looking forward to tomorrow:)
Got my list ready. :)
Have just printed out my Bird watch sheet :)
Entered my results, not very spectacular, there were more birds yesterday, but not a bad showing for a small garden. :)
21,000 online submissions so far. :)
I have only a few. As you know I don't have a garden so counted the birds from my house to the Estuary . Any after that would really have been cheating as it really is a garden count and I pass lots of gardens going to the estuary. :)
I did mine on Saturday, now if I'd have done it on Sunday instaed I wouldn't have got as many birds but I could have included Goldcrest, Bullfinch, Siskins and Nuthatch to the list and Greg saw and photographed a Common Redpoll perched on a branch with the House Sparrows. He thought now that looks a bit different and we have been given a positive ID from the photo. It is not as common as the Lesser Redpoll so we are quite chuffed to have a new visitor visit us and one that is not so common;):D
Strange isn't it, I wonder if a lot of people who do not always put food out, put it out on Sunday morning. :)
Be interested in seeing the Redpoll photos, as I've never seen one in the flesh. :)
Here you go then rolf, not brilliant but you can at least see it's not a house sparrow. I went out to try and spot it myself but it was a no show for me. Hope it returns at the weekend
Actually it was about 2pm in the afternoon when they all started to show. I like to go out first thing cause they are usually quite hungry then...........and theyr'e not the only one:4-bounce:Quote:

Thanks rolf, I will try to improve on the quality of the shot, there again it could just have been a one off. Still the firecrest appeared again on Sunday so you never know. Tell you what I wasn't this lucky this time last year, I have already had three new arrivals this year and we are still in January:DQuote:
