RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2023

 I spent a very pleasant hour this morning on a grey and gloomy day carrying out the RSPB Garden Birdwatch.  Results, however, were disappointing, although not untypical for this garden where we get few birds. Although the norm for our garden, bird numbers do seem to be down. There is definitely less activity at my winter feeding station than normal, although blue tit numbers seem to be up as do blackbirds, some of which may be continental birds.

My results were:

• Blackbird 1
• Robin 1
• Great Tit 1
• Magpie 2 (They seem to be building a nest in the cherry tree)
• Chaffinch 3
• Crow 1
