RSPB garden bird watch 24.01.09

An hour spent recording visitors to the garden, with results being forwarded to the RSPB. Highlight was a great spotted woodpecker utilising the nut feeder as shown here. Blackbirds, great tits, blue tits, fieldfare, wren, robin, starling, jackdaws, wood pigeon, collared dove, dunnock, house sparrow, chaffinch and greenfinch were all seen. Plenty of other species, including gulls carrion crows and rooks were witnessed but were not part of the count as they were only in Chapel Lane air space and not visitors to the garden.
Just as I was completing the timed session a sparrow hawk shot past the window and over Ford Field. My 2nd record from the garden.
