After an unexpected heavy snow fall in the night, my plans to go out putting up bird boxes came to a holt when I couldn't get the car up the lane!! Luckily there's always something to see on the farm. This weekend is the rspb's Big Garden Bird Watch, where they ask people to spend an hour in there garden, making a note of all the birds that visit it. Since I've changed the feeders around, it's not been as easy to count the birds, because when they are feeding you have to look out of one window, and when they're not you have to look out of a different window on the other side of the house. Anyway, here's what I managed to count- 1 male Redpoll,
35+ Siskins, 10+ Goldfinches, 20+ Chaffinches, 10+ Greenfinches, 1 Bullfinch, 25+ Blue Tits, 10+ Great Tits, 5+ Coal Tits, 1 Marsh Tit, 10+ Blackbirds, 5+ Robins, 3+ Nuthatches, 4+ Dunnocks, 12+ House Sparrows, 1 Fieldfare, 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers, 2 Crows, 2 Magpies, 3 Jays, 1 Sparrowhawk and 8+ Starlings.
Not a bad days birding really!
