April 7th. Filled up bird feeders - my husband bought me three new bird feeders for the garden for my birthday. We also put two bird boxes back up that had fallen down last year.
17.20 - saw first bumble bee of the year.
Birds seen: Blue Tit, Great Tit, Blackbird, Dunnocks
April 8th: 8.40am: Birds Seen; Dunnock (2), Chaffinch, Robin, Blackbird (Mr). A pair of Wood Pigeons courting, a Jay - great to see this, as we haven't seen one for a few years. Goldfinch, Blue Tits, Dunnocks.
Lovely to see both the Chaffinch and Robin foraging for food together.
(Photos taken through a mucky patio window, so not the best. Must clean now the weather is a bit brighter...or will I be jinxing the weather?)
April 10th; Wood Pigeons courting, Blue Tits, Blackbirds, Jay, Robin, Dunnocks.
April 11th: Wood Pigeons, Jay, Blue Tits, Dunnocks, Blackbirds,
April 12th: Wood Pigeons, Blackbird (Mr), Robin, Blue Tits, Goldfinches, Dunnocks.
April 13th: Robin, Mrs Blackbird, Blue Tits, Wood Pigeons, Dunnock.
April 14th: Blackbird (Mrs) Blue Tits. Out most of today so didn't see so many birds today, although woke to lovely bird song this morning.
I like the idea of keeping a list of birds seen each day.
ReplyDeleteI recently learned about Chaffinches from a kid's book series (a fire-breathing chaffinch, of all things). How neat to see one for real! lol
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely idea to keep a record daily of your visitors.
ReplyDeleteSparrows, starlings and pigeons are about as much as I've seen today. It's many years since I kept a tally of the birds in the garden. I might try it again.
