Wow an incredibly quiet morning in the garden, I’m not sure why, but as far as I can tell it’s not because of the same reason Ian is having just near me: Sparrowhawk. The blackbirds really sound as if they’re trying to setup breeding territories and singing at all hours of the day, dawn chorus was in full swing! Alfred Turner – thunor1957 on twitter said that the birds near him in Birmingham were really showing spring traits and breeding behaviour, checking nest boxes and other such things. I hope they don’t try too early as there’s more cold weather on the way. Here’s my very small list today, updated at 15.00 with a few extras:
- Blackbird x 1
- Blue Tit x 1
- Coal Tit x 2
- Dunnock x 1
- House Sparrows x 4
- Magpie x 1
- Woodpigeon x 1
As usual from my garden.
