Quick bird update - 60 species

Its all happening here in the village - there was a Wryneck feeding in a garden a few hundred yards down the road today and we had a Hobby race through the garden!

This brings us to 60 species recorded from the garden!

New lunchtime visitors

I was about to nip out for half hour in the garden at lunch when I noticed an odd grey lump by our new asparagus beds...quick look with the bins and I saw there were two Red-legged Partridges sat there!

Red-legged Partridges stood by our wheelbarrow
Not my finest moment of avian photography but I wanted to show the wheelbarrow in the frame.

50 bird species in the garden

Today was a little bit of a landmark as we added our 50th species seen from the garden - Oystercatcher. It flew over calling which caused a mild panic when I could hear but not see it!

There is also a Chiffchaff singing from the oaks opposite but I can't see it for toffee. This and the Oyk brings the total number of species recorded up to 52.

Not bad in less than 3 months.
