25th January 2015 - Big Garden Birdwatch

This weekend the RSPB have asked everyone in the UK to join in on the Big Garden Birdwatch. One hour watching and counting the birds you see in your garden. Here are just four of the visitors to my garden this morning. We saw 2 Blackbirds, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Collared Dove, 1 Dunnock, 1 Greenfinch, 1 House Sparrow, 1 robin, 2 starlings and 2 Woodpigeons.
I uploaded my results online to the RSPB and there had already been over one and a half million birds counted and there was still a long time to go. Not that many people take part in these surveys which is a shame as it gives the scientists a good idea of what is going on in the bird world.

Many thanks for your lovely comments on yesterday's shots - always appreciated.

How wonderful just woke up to find this on the PP! Many thanks for your lovely comments and Favs which got it there!
Great images.
