Garden List 2012

Cordaline · #1 (**permalink**) 10-01-2012, 08:34 AM

Hi all,
The year list thread has taken off with great speed. So I thought I'd start a garden one.

This is in by no means meant to be a competition, merely a place to mention what you've had in your garden.

The only rules for a bird to count are that you've either seen or heard it from/in or flying over your back or front garden.

(If I'm wrong, can someone please correct me. Thanks.)

Happy garden birding!

I don't think i'll join in on this one. I rent a property within a farm complex so technically I have a 500 acre back yard of mixed habitat incorporating a wildlife friendly area and nature walk, so its a bit of a cheat really

And as Cordaline has pointed out on the other thread, I have an unfair advantage already as I live in Norfolk!
