Re: Big Garden Bird Watch

I done my garden bird watch today as I will not be able to do it on the weekend. And these are my results:

Blackbird: 3
Blue Tit: 1
Collared Dove: 2
Dunnock: 1
House Sparrow: 8
Starling: 11
Woodpigeon: 2

The biggest let down for me was not seeing a Robin as normaly I see one every day on my feeders, also a great tit and I have magpies normaly but not today. There were more birds a couple of gardens away but just not in my garden at the same time. For example I could see 7 woodpigeons at 1 time but some were on the roof of the people that live opposite me.

And 1 more thing, when I saw a dunnock feeding off the ground there was something else behind it, I thought it might be another dunnock but it looked too small so I thought it may be a wren, then i looked through my binoculars and saw it was a small mouse. Then i kept on seeing it, it crawls through a tiny hole in the fence and it was eating some of the fatball that was on the floor then it would quickly do a little jump and crawl back under.
