I bet a lot of people do their best to attract more birds on the watch weekend. It must seem like some places are deserted but there's probably a feast for the birds elsewhere.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Didn't think my bare urban lawn was worth it, but...
2 Magpies (one was brown an white, bizarrely) 1 Blackbird 1 fleeting Kingfisher which used my garden as a fly through between canal and private fishing pool.
The birds in my garden seem to adhere to calling in for breakfast, lunch and/or afternoon tea so judging a good survey time is easier.
My submitted list included:
Blackbird Blackcap Chaffinch Collared dove Dunnock Goldfinch Greenfinch Robin Wood pigeon
It’s good to see the greenfinch and chaffinch back as they have been AWOL from my garden in the last year or two having previously been present in numbers.
