-4 c this morning ❄ defrosted the bird bath and the garden Robin hopped straight in. A pair of magpies are building a nest in a tall tree behind the garden 🤔 #breakfastBirdWatch
Some city bird sounds #DawnChorusDay #BreakfastBirdwatch
Don't know whether she can count, but there were 13 ducklings at the start of the day, and 13 at the end.
Gradually the ducklings got into the swing of preening after a swim.

The ducklings seemed as entranced by the pond as I am by them.

Seems a quite extraordinary miracle that only a few hours earlier, these perfect, fully functioning little beings were still curled, wet inside their eggs.

After the excitement of the ducklings' first swim, a nap on the lawn in the sun is important for them and their mum.

The Mother Duck seemed proud to show off her brood to us.
A privilege to watch the ducklings take their first swim.
Like ducks to water, they instantly got the hang of it...

Introducing the 13 Mallard ducklings that hatched in our garden over night (one egg didn't hatched). Sheer delight!

So far spotted nesting dunnock, wood pigeon, blue tit, great tit and blackbird in the garden. Tree sparrows are still about after vanishing for spring/summer last year #BreakfastBirdwatch @SIBirdClub on top of toad/frog/newt spawn
+ house sparrows, goldfinches, a blackbird, a coal tit and a great tit #BreakfastBirdwatch
Not an ideal setup for taking pics, but this morning so far I've seen blackcaps, bullfinches, greenfinches, robins, dunnocks and a collared dove😊 #lockdownuk #BreakfastBirdwatch
ロックダウンで家にこもっている人達に、毎朝1時間家の窓から野鳥を観察しようとRSPBが呼びかけているそう。それ、私が毎日やってるやつだ☺ #LockdownUK #BreakfastBirdwatch
Big fall of redwings on the Isle of Rum this morning. Listen to them in the video #BreakfastBirdwatch @SkyeBirdsBob
