I was overly keen and actually initially counted the birds last weekend. Had to do it all again this weekend when I realised. Nothing like a trial run through I suppose. So I saw:
- 3 blackbirds
- 13 sparrows
- 1 robin
- 2 blue tits
- 2 collared doves
- 1 wren
- 1 greater spotted woodpecker (new additional the regular visitors - I was quite excited - this is a rarer species - my only one)
- 2 great tits
- 1 magpie (one for sorrow - not so keen on the magpies after they killed the blackbird chicks we had a couple of springs ago)
- 3 wood pigeons
- 3 starlings (always reminds me of Pam Ayres - I'm a starling me darling - we liked her when she was on TV in the 70s but on looking back I really can't see why.
- 1 chaffinch

2 Blue Tits. (Hee hee; sounds like someone was very cold!)
My dad used to have a bird calendar over the computer - can't remember the month but each time I paused for thought and looked up it said 'great tits' - that used to make me laugh.
Oh dear, was it last weekend? I didn't see that anywhere, so I've failed miserably...
