Had a good chance to be in the garden today, nice and sunny, although snow was on the ground to start it thawed very quickly and there was actually some warmth in the sun! Flying high over head I could hear geese and got a short glimpse of 6, but not sure what type and once again a common buzzard being mobbed by gulls, I wish I could identify the gulls better as there’s been a few overhead of late, look like herring, common or lesser black backed, but not 100% sure, the black-headed ones are thankfully easy to identify! Will get my bins out soon to get a better view, I’ve let my neighbours know that I’m a keen birder in case they wonder what I’m up to 
Here’s my garden bird list for today:
- Blackbird x 2
- Blue Tit x 1
- Bullfinch x 1, male – hoping the female’s sitting on eggs somewhere!
- Carrion crow x 1 in garden – about 15 flying over.
- Common Buzzard x 1 – flying high!
- Dunnock x 2
- Long-tailed tit x 1 – pretty sure I could hear more flying past.
- Magpie x 1
- Starlings x 6
- Woodpigeon x 2
