Quite a nice way to start the day. Cup of tea to hand. Seat looking out over the snow covered garden. Binoculars
ready. Cue lots of birds. Or not, as the case may be.
The morning I spent an hour taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Compared to when we first moved in here we certainly seem to have attracted more birdlife to the garden. Our results weren't spectacular with eleven different species in total (blackbird, black headed gull, blue tit, carrion crow, coal tit, dunnock, great tit, house sparrow, mapgie, robin and woodpigeon) but I was still more than content with what we did see, and particularly pleased with the five house sparrows.
Tomorrow I'll do it all over again down at the WWA, although I've a funny feeling that the bird hide there may not be quite as warm as my kitchen was today.
