Garden List 2012

[Cordaline]

Oh wow!
What a spectacle I've just seen in my garden.
My feeders (fat balls, wildbird seed, sunflower hearts & nuts) are all next to the apple tree.
I looked out the kitchen window & there were Siskins, Great & Blue Tits, House Sparrows, Dunnock, Collared Doves & a Wood Pigeon all either on the feeders or waiting there turn in the tree & on the ground!
Must've been about 20 birds at once!
Just lovely!

and can add to my garden list:-

25. Coal Tit
