BTO/CJ Garden BirdWatch Survey 19-25 Feb 06

The constant rainfall on Thursday brought a record flock of 65 Chaffinch to the garden, the absentees from last week returned and there was a very fast blur in the garden on Friday as a Sparrowhawk tried, but failed, to predate a finch. I posted on Tuesday to say we'd beaten our average of three Goldfinch by one - but on Saturday morning we beat it by three!

We have recorded 21 species in the garden this week; the previous record was 20.
