I’ve been in the new house for over a year now and have become familiar with the visitors to the garden. Inspired by this weekend’s Big Garden Birdwatch and also by this BBC article on increasing and declining species since 1979, I thought I’d try to list all the different birds I’ve seen so far in the garden.
- Great tit
- Blue tit
- Coal tit
- Nuthatch (a very regular visitor I’m pleased to say)
- Long-tailed tit
- Chaffinch
- Goldfinch
- Magpie
- Jay
- Jackdaw
- Wood pigeon
- Rose-ringed parakeet
- Great spotted woodpecker
- Dunnock
- House sparrow
- Heron (looking rather ungainly in a tree, peering at my pond)
