azziriaOne of the main assets of our not-particularly-large garden is the big sycamore tree at the bottom of it.
Our count was:
15 Starling
7 Goldfinch
5 Collared Dove
4 Wood Pigeon
4 House Sparrow
4 Chaffinch
2 Greenfinch
2 Blackbird
2 Blue Tit
1 Dunnock
If I'd done the count in the following hour, I'd have had no Goldfinches but 5 Black-headed Gulls (landing on our lawn to pick up bread).
The most notable thing for us is that there are far fewer Greenfinches this year - we're still not sure if it's a population thing, or if maybe our brand of seed is less attractive to them this year.
