Garden birds in 2010

Bullfinches

This is a record of what birds we've seen in our garden during 2010. Last year's report can be found here.

Breeding blue tits (up to ten or so). They used our nestbox.
Coal tits
Great tits
Occasional flocks of long-tailed tits pass through.
Four or five greenfinches visit regularly since I set up a sunflower seed feeder.
A pair of bullfinches
Two chaffinches
A pair of blackcaps
A few dunnocks
Robins
Several blackbirds
Woodpigeons
Collared doves
A single thrush
One regular nuthatch
Two goldcrests
Two wrens
One greater spotted woodpecker, actually on the tree next door.
And a rare redwing, brought by the snow.

And for this weekend's Big Garden Birdwatch I spotted 4 blue tits, 4 green finches, 2 blackbirds, 2 dunnocks, 2 robin, 2 bullfinches, 1 woodpigeon, 1 great tit, 1 wren, 1 nuthatch and 1 magpie. And 2 long-tailed tits flew over.
