Rspb Big Garden Birdwatch

[DSJ]

Don't forget the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch. It's this weekend - today and tomorrow.

Thanks for the reminder, the form was buried in my magazine rack, but is out again now. We'll fill up the feeders later and do our watch in the morning.

I'll have waxwings on my list:-)

I did mine yesterday for the first time. But a little confused about one bird.? It is small and brown all over, or looks like it from a distance, I used to think they was sparrows? but looking at the Rspb form it isnt.?

It might have been a dunnock lilacben.
I did my count yesterday and was really pleased to see a couple of coal tits, not seen them for a year or two here.

Apart from waxwings, it's been a very poor year for garden birds compared to the 3 previous years. No house sparrows or starlings, very few tits & finches, even the wood pigeons are on the thin side.
