I was thrilled to count a whopping SIX Reed Buntings hopping around with the Chaffinches. One of them was [presumably...] the bird we ringed last weekend. So that was good, but where were all the Great Tits? And why didn't any of our Marsh Tits turn up?
The totals...
- Chaffinch, 16
- Jackdaw, 11
- Reed Bunting, 6
- Blue Tit, 5
- Greenfinch, 4
- Great Tit, 3
- Robin, 2
- Blackbird, 2
- Dunnock, 2
- Pheasant, 1
- Great Spotted Woodpecker, 1
- Carrion Crow, 1
- Magpie, 1
- Coal Tit, 1
Annoyingly, I've just seen a Marsh Tit. Too late now...
Sounds like a great count and list of birds to me. I just finished topping off my feeders and putting out fresh water too. The sun is not up yet but I will start my project feeder count in a half hour or so.
ReplyDeleteA good variety of birds. Plenty of Chaffinches there. Most of mine stayed away for the count. You have lots of Jackdaws as well. I was surprised to get four at once as I normally see them in ones or twos.
