Big Garden Birdwatch 2017

The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2017 is not just for gardens, so after I had done my own garden I did the survey the on the Meadows,

Here is the list I have submitted to the RSPB.

Magpie 4
Blackbird 7
Goldfinch 5
Song Thrush 1
Woodpigeon 8
Blue Tit 7
Robin 4
Chaffinch 3
Great Tit 4
Dunnock 6
Nuthatch 2
Wren 1
Bullfinch 3
Redwing 3
Jay 1
Redpoll 3
Long-tailed Tit 2
Mistle Trush 2
Starling 1
Goldcrest 1
Jackdaw 1

Also of interest were 2 Mute Swans that flew very low over the Meadows, but they don't go on the list as they did not land. I have put three feeding trays on fence posts around the pond. It takes a while for the birds to start using them but this morning they had started to feed.
