RSPB Bird Watch

The weekend of 24th-25th January is the Big Garden Birdwatch.
As a member of the RSPB we were asked to record the highest number of each species of bird seen at any one time in the garden during one hour this weekend. This helps the organisation learn more about the various birds and how they are faring throughout the country. After putting out a variety of foods at the feeding stations it was very relaxing to sit down and watch the different species come to eat. During the hour I recorded; blackbirds, blue tits, chaffinches, coal tits, dunnocks, goldcrests, great tits, long tailed tits, robins and a treecreeper. I did spot an unusual male Blackcap in the shrubbery and got quite excited when it actually landed on the bird table. It was an aggresive little thing and did not like sharing the food.
Watch it in action.
