RSPB birdwatch - Spring 2008 results

The January 2008 birdwatch recorded 10 species in the allotted hour (cf 2007 - 11 species). The species common to the two years were blackbird, moor hen, mallard, crow, robin, blue tit, wood pigeon and collared dove. In 2007 I also recorded goldfinches, great tits and coal tits but at the time I was feeding birds which I no longer do due as it attracted a rat and squirrels. The other two species that made an appearance this year but not in 2007 were jackdaws (a troupe skittered by just in time to be recorded) and starlings.
