This weekend is the
RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch and as a member I dutifully did my one hour watch this afternoon. I always feel a bit put out if some of my favourite birds don't visit the garden during my hour but I was very pleased to be able to record these two (one is the other side of the feeder) Lesser
Redpolls - they may have visited before but I haven't noticed them if they have.
It was a beautiful sunny day today even though freezing cold. The bottom of the garden remained frost covered all day, but it was perfect weather be be outside and busy and I was able to do a bit of general tidying. I could hear lots of neighbours busy in their own gardens around about too. If the weather holds I may even have another go at the
birdwatch tomorrow and see what I can see.

Lovely photos Ann. I would do the RSPB watch but I don't think I am clued up enough on birds. I thought the first one you have here was a sparrow!

ReplyDeleteWhat a little sweetie. As you know, I do love watching birds. It's so much fuE. Enjoy! Theresa
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky thing! I thought it was rather special to be watching 8 Goldfinches fighting over the bird feeders yesterday, but a Redpoll of any type would be even more exciting! Great photo, by the way...
