BTO/CJ Garden BirdWatch Survey 9-15 April
Overall, it has been another quiet week in the garden.
Record numbers of Siskin were recorded on Sunday (flock of twelve). Also on Sunday was the reappearance of the male Brambling, but he wasn't seen for the rest of the week. Has he really migrated this time?!
A male Yellowhammer showed on Wednesday, as did a male Sparrowhawk who left the garden hot on the heels of a Greenfinch.
A Pheasant has not been recorded for the first time in twenty one weeks.

Very interesting reading through your list of visitors for BTO Garden Birdwatch, and to see how different to mine it is. No Collared Doves, which is one of my highest number of birds, and an ever present in my lists for the 4 years I have been doing this. Also no Robin, another ever present for me.
Thanks for linking to my blog too :o)
Hi Janice.
Our Collared Doves have been AWOL for some time now - I see them around but they just don't come in the garden any more (one graced us with her presence recently but not since. They used to be regulars). We have a resident Robin but s/he's been missing for the past couple of weeks :o( Maybe just busy building a nest and I've missed brief visits.
