Apparently the annual RSPB UK bird count survey is over and whilst I recognise the birds, it seems a bit different to my own garden feeder.

RSPB birdwatch – the top 10 birds

1. House sparrow – almost never see these in the London garden
2. Blue tit – probably the most common visitor
3. Starling – an occasional visitor
4. Wood pigeon – not so much of the ‘wood’ but we see the city sort daily
5. Blackbird – at least weekly visitors
6. Robin – each and everyday second only to the tits
7. Goldfinch – never spotted on my feeder though a friend four streets down is regularly mobbed by these
8. Great tit – probably the second most common visitor
9. Magpie – each and every day
10. Chaffinch – cannot remember the last time I spotted on here
