Birds Seen In or From the Garden (at Home) during 2018

We have decided to try to keep a proper Record of Birds Seen In or From the Garden at Home: prompted by the Unusual Sighting (for us) of a Song Thrush in the Garden during the closing days of 2017 and seen again (the assumed same Bird) on 2 January.

Truth to tell, we don't see many different Bird' Species but we are pleased enough with what we do see.

Bird Sightings as at 23 July:

Blackbird

Blue Tit viz.

Carrion Crow

Chaffinch

Coal Tit viz.

Dunnock

Goldfinch  viz.

(last year we saw at least one young Goldfinch at the Bird Bath and on 7 April this year we saw three adult Goldfinches in the Garden; previously we had only ever seen two adult Birds in the Garden at any one time)

Great-Spotted Woodpecker viz.

Great Tit

Grey Heron (flying over)

House Sparrow

Magpie

Ring-Necked Parakeet viz.

Robin viz.

Song Thrush

Sparrowhawk (swooping down on assumed House Sparrows)

Wood Pigeon (the first Bird' Species seen during 2018 and initially spotted by little Bella!) viz.

Wren

Other Bird' Species previously heard/seen include: Black-Headed Gull, Chiffchaff, Collared Dove, Green Woodpecker, Jackdaw and Long-Tailed Tit.
