| What new birds are now coming into your garden this winter??
Further to Bob.Phillips posting(08-01-2010) I was wondering what new birds you have seen in your garden this winter?
Our usual residents are Great/blue tits, Pidgeon, Dunnock, collared dove,Robin.
nearby are gulls(various inc 2 seemingly enormous Herring), magpie,rook,crow green woodpecker and a nesting nuthatch which makes more noise than all the others put together.
Last year a pair of blackbirds came and stayed(back this year too) and we get visits from greenfinch, long-tailed tits and song thrush(could be a missel), usually early and late season passing thru sort of thing.
However this year with the snow we've had a Redwing, Pied wagtail,Wren, a pair of chaffinches(definitely M&F and have been here quite a few weeks so fingers crossed)and this morning a male Blackcap(too quick for my camera).
Anyone else? |
