Wow the snow really came down hard over night and most of today, I only had brief chances to look outside as I was doing DIY projects trying to get a room ready for when my parents come over from Australia on Sunday!!! Hopefully we’ll make it in time, and between DIY and watching birds I was doing the finance updates for ISAs, credit cards and saving accounts over on (UPDATE: saverscene now CLOSED due to moving to carer in horticulture hope to have my gardening website up early 2019) – I try to find the best rates to help everyone, it’s tough time for savers!
I did a great list of birds even for the short time I managed to look outside, the blackbird count was fantastic, interesting to note that it was 4 male and 1 female. I’m pretty sure there was a Black-headed gull and it looked as if the summer plumage had really come in and looked fantastic:
- Blackbird x 5
- Black-headed Gull x 1
- Blue Tit x 2
- Coal Tit x 1
- Dunnock x 2
- Greenfinch x 2
- Long-tailed tit x 1
- Magpie x 1
- Woodpigeon x 2
It’s weird that pretty much after I put up a RSPB terraced nestbox for house sparrows and about that time they all disappeared! Not seen them for over 2 weeks.
