Is Anyone Going To Take Part In The Rspb Birdwatch At The End Of January ?

[hereIam]

I am.

[Canary42]

Yes, me.

[hereIam]

I'm looking forward to it.

[Tilly2]

Have done so for the last few years. I will be there with my piece of paper and a pencil. :-)

[hereIam]

First time for me Tilly.

[Tilly2]

I hope you see something interesting, HIA.

Mine's going to be mostly sparrows, dunnocks, robins, blackbirds and wood pigeons.

4th year for me - drew a complete blank last year !

[Tilly2]

That was unusual, Canary....not one bird in an hour? Was there a Sparrowhawk about somewhere?

[gness]

Tilly....I've once drawn a blank too.......even in my camouflage gear and with a bush on my head......

But I'll do it again, Here...x

[Baldric]

No

[Tilly2]

I'm sorry, Gness but you walking about the garden with a bush on your head would scare away everything.

The only birds seen here London are pigeons!!!

[gness]

You think that was it, Tilly.......will make a nice hide this year then.....x

[Canary42]

Although billed as "Gardenwatch", they do allow recording from elsewhere (but you must specify where) - I'm tempted to go to the seafront and record the hundreds of seabirds usually hanging out there at this time of year.

[Tilly2]

No cockney sparrers, Sharon?

[Tilly2]

A hide sounds good Gness. Will it be a lovely wooden structure like the ones at Rutland......the ones with the grass snakes sleeping in them?

Canary, can you identify all those seabirds? I would struggle with that.

[Canary42]

That could be a problem Tilly

[-SharonA-]

Hubby says he will be taking part and looking out for the non feathered kind!!!

[Tilly2]

I'm hopeless with any waterbirds apart from a mandarin duck and a coot.

[hereIam]

I'd love to see you with a bush on your head Gness ....

Tilly - I get mainly sparrows in my small back garden, but I also have wagtails and tits and blackbirds and I sometimes see a wren. I'm really excited about doing it !
