There are a few hours of daylight left to do the @rspb.bsky.social excellent #BigGardenBirdwatch so if you haven’t - please do ! And if you are struggling to identify birds then this informative key from @vizcomic.bsky.social will be an enormous help . . .

Today I went round the pond and saw swans, geese, pigeons, coots, ducks. But didn’t count because I can’t stay for an hour in one place in this weather.
Have seem the sum total of one bedraggled wood pigeon & a magpie on a neighbour's roof & two ravens swirling around in the wind for a few seconds.
Yes, yesterday would have been a different story. Usually the Hawthorn tree in my front garden is alive with tits & other smaller birds, as well as wood pigeon, magpies & blackbirds, all after insects & the remaining berries & I get sparrows & long tailed tits on seed heads too.
Last year was fab, we even had a rare visit from loads of long-tailed tits.
Nothing this weekend 🤷♀️

I have almost every annual. My sister in-law started buying me one every Christmas 24 years ago. Unfortunately cancer took her in may last year. My wife got me the annual Christmas just gone. RIP Jess.
