Garden Birdwatch 2018

The morning dawned rather dull and cloudy with light rain forecast so I decided to keep an eye out over an hour in the morning  whilst carrying on with household chores.   I filled up  my feeders yesterday in the hope that might entice a few more species. First to arrive were a group of three long tailed tits which have started to visit the garden regularly.  Then a robin, bluetit and dunnock followed shortly after.   I noted three wood pigeons sitting up in the trees, with one venturing down to the  feeders later. Not much else  around for the rest of the hour except for a jackdaw that rather likes the  fat balls.  So a bit disappointing but  the dreary weather probably didn't help much. Anyway a  few species to enter on the birdwatch form so worth doing.
