Today is RSPB birdwatch day.
In our garden we regularly see blue tits by the dozen, coal tits and great tits, a flock of long-tailed tits which blast through mid-morning, a pair of nuthatch, several dunnocks, two robins, several blackbirds, and an annoying number of pigeons. Chaffinch, goldfinch, greenfinch. Thrush and missel thrush. A wren. Rooks, crows and jackdaws, and we hear ravens although I haven't seen one in our paddock. Buzzards - one spent most of last summer thermalling over the stud paddock immediately behind - and a pair of red kites. Pheasant. I've spotted a spotted woodpecker. And I've once seen a sparrow in the garden, present company excepted!
