I did it yesterday morning and had one robin, two sparrows, two blackbirds and a woodpigeon, along with two magpies being very noisy on the roof. I had to go out the front door to see if it was one or two.
I thought that was quite appalling considering how mild it was, so I did it again for an hour this morning and had the robin, the woodpigeon and the blackbirds.
Normally there are coaltits, bluetits, greattits, chaffinches and goldfinches.
I went for a walk along the cycletrack and noticed a bullfinch on a hawthorn bush. Shame it wasn't in my garden.
I think they know when it's birdwatch weekend, and decide to desert gardens for the countryside.
