Not only was today my birthday, but we decided it would also be our Christmas Day, as I was unable to eat anything that didn't taste bitter or salty last Christmas.
Today was also my RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch, which was a bit of a disappointment, as I only recorded two species, the "resident" Robin and two male Great Tits. Sadly the other 13 species didn't count towards the the birdwatch as they weren't seen in the garden. Especially the Chiffchaff which has been a daily visitor, but decided to remain a few gardens down today.
Birds Recorded:
Herring Gull
2 Great Black-backed Gull
Wood Pigeon
Collared Dove
2 Robin
1 Blackbird
1 Chiffchaff

A bit later "he" was singing from the Buckthorn.
