2021 starts here

A murky day, damp and cold, 1°, no sun and very little wind from the NW.

Did not venture out today but done my birding whilst working on the laptop and peering out of the window. Fortunately I have a good view and always a lot of activity going on.

36 bird species noted and 1 mammal, Grey Squirrel.

As for the birds a Blackcap was notable feeding on the suet balls dotted around the feeders, a small flock of Long-tailed Tit and 2 Coal Tit.

A couple of Starling dropped in briefly (a scarce bird in the garden) and several species on a heard only basis included Green and Great-spotted Woodpecker, Moorhen, Buzzard and Magpie.

Alan added another 12 species to the list with Cormorant, Egyptian Goose, Treecreeper, Bullfinch, Meadow Pipit, Corn and Reed Bunting etc.
