RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch

It's the RSPB Gardenwatch this weekend. Get involved! It's a one hour count of all the birds in your garden (or in my case my mum's garden in Surrey, England).

There's a feeding station in her small suburban garden so a few of the common garden birds can be seen. But there were a couple of surprises in the hour. Here's the maximum counts...

3 Blue tit
5 House sparrow
2 Dunnock
1 European robin
1 Lesser redpoll
1 Siskin
12 Woodpigeon
1 Starling
1 Goldfinch
2 Chaffinch
1 Black-headed gull (over)
1 Jackdaw

that brings the yard total to 15.
