If you did #BigGardenBirdwatch #bgbw at the weekend plz remember to send in your results.
As with other science, citizen science doesn't count for much, except personal entertainment, unless the data are shared and published. Sermon over.
I had magpies and wood pigeons. The robins seemed to boycott the garden completely for the whole hour! #BGBW disappointment.

RSPB #BigGardenBirdwatch done for another year!
Wet and mild weather wasn't promising and the hour got off to a slow start, but once a Jay had made an appearance, the Great Spotted Woodpeckers (male & female) and a family of Long-tailed Tits provided plenty entertainment.

It was #BigGardenBirdwatch #BGBW today. It's supposed to be just an hour of bird watching, but I made an app so I could watch all day and then pick the best hour. I also saw a Redwing and a Treecreeper, but they were in a different hour. And heard a Goldcrest and a Jay, but didn't see them.
Hmmm not great. 5 woodpigeon, 2 maggies, a blackbird and a fieldfare. But it all helps to paint a picture of how our garden birds are faring and what the patterns are #BGBW
It’s time. Possibly one of my favourite hours of the year because everything else stops. Not sure I’m going to see much this year though ☹️#BigGardenBirdwatch #BGBW

I'm lucky to have had a pair of Firecrests in my Surrey garden this year, possibly even breeding. But this little beauty flew into a window & was stunned for about 10 minutes, before thankfully flying off to its mate (singing in background). What a stunner! #firecrest #gardenbirds #surreybirds #bgbw
