Well done to England in the Rugby, probably the more exciting game of the weekend, got a bit worried about the scrums and ref at the start but things settled. English defence is amazing! Now onto the birds, I managed to add another first for the garden a collared dove, very happy to see one show up in the garden, although it’s the one bird my dog doesn’t seem to like due to the noise they make.
The day started with heavy snow showers, it was quickly burnt off by the sun, then returned intermittently throughout the day and as dusk rolled in was quite heavy again and is lying out there now. It was the first day the feeders were heavily used in a few weeks and were almost cleared out. The Long Tailed Tits were back and was great to see 2 birds together inside a RSPB half coconut eating the fat, it seems to be their favourite as they dash to branches near by have a feed then back to the coconut.
Here’s my list for today:
- Blackbird x 1
- Blue Tit x 2
- Carrion crow x 4 fly over
- Coal Tit x 1
- Collared Dove x 1
- Dunnock x 1
- Feral Pigeon x 1
- Long-tailed tit x 2
- Magpie x 2
- Woodpigeon x 1
I wonder where all my house sparrows have gone? Not seen any since February 23rd
