BTO/CJ Garden Birdwatch Survey 14-20 May

Sixteen species have been recorded this week - a bit better than last week's eleven!

A Pied Wagtail arrived on Friday - the first one recorded in 7 weeks. Up to four Pied Wagtails were daily visitors throughout the autumn and winter months.

On Saturday evening (talk about leaving it till the last minute!) we finally saw the return of a Blue Tit to the garden - they have been absent from the garden for the past four weeks.

I have noticed this week that one of our Great Tits has taken a liking to our red currant shrub now that it is covered in leaves and flowers. Hopefully this will result in more frequent visits.
