RSPB Garden Birdwatch

I had received the summons to Castle Hill for heart surgery las t Friday and had been to avoid catching cold or flu.  Consequently I was hibernating in the house and the Birdwatch was a welcome distraction.  Normally we get few birds in our garden and this proved to be the case today, although I was excited at my first bird, a female sparrowhawk, which swooped in, settled for a brief moment and then flew off again.  My list is included below.
