| | | 2011 Garden list
A quick recall of the first six days of the year:
blackbird
dunnock
robin
bluetit
great tit
coal tit
collared dove
woodpigeon
blackcap
bullfinch
chaffinch
goldfinch
(sadly no greenfinch)
Does not include fly-overs and I'm sure the list will get longer come the Spring

Quite a respectable list to start the year. Yes the Greenfinches aren't as widespread as they were + didn't see one on Jan 1st when I started my new year's birding, despite 5 other finch species seen. Have seen a few since. |

I am off to a good start for the year thanks to the colder weather.
wren
blue tit
coal tit
great tit
long tailed tit
robin
dunnock
house sparrow
chaffinch
goldfinch
blackbird
starling
song thrush
mistle thrush
collared dove
wood pigeon
magpie
jay
red legged partridge
I am surprised you do not have starlings nor house sparrows on your list. I am inundated with them.
The song thrush is the first in the garden for about 2 years. The mistle thrush was the first for many years and the partridge was the first ever as was the jay. The partridge has become a regular visitor. I have been told that there were a pair of nesting partridges on the nearby golf course last year. Hopefully, they will multiply in this area. It is a lovelly looking bird. |

On the 31st of December I had two Lesser Redpolls and a cracking male Mealy Redpoll, both first in my garden but I haven't seen them this year yet although I haven't had a chance to look too much.
Can we count birds that are flying over the garden?
If we can then I can add 150+ Pink footed geese that passed over just after daybreak on the 1st. |
