Many thanks to
the 19 people who sent me a copy of their observations. I have listed the
species by family and have added up the totals. The figures are somewhat skewed
as we have a marsh farm and a Wold smallholding in the results!
Not all the
lists are shown below. I have just included some that had comments. Thank you
again; perhaps we can do it again next year and don’t forget the Butterfly
Count in August.

The sea-gulls maybe don't count for the garden birdwatch,
as don't the 309 pigeons I counted on my walk to the paper-shop this morning
(they roost in the pine wood), but seeing a kingfisher fly up the dyke was nice
and I don't often see two barn owls at once. If I had got up earlier, I'd
have seen the tawnies too.
Notable absences are the sparrows, not house, hedge or
tree sparrows, and greenfinches, which several years ago were our commonest
bird, are only rarely seen these days.

Good evening All,
Our list of birds for the
bird-count is as listed below: -
BLACKBIRD
3
PHEASANT
2
ROBIN
1
WOODPIGEON 1
BLUE TIT
2
WREN
1
Weather was warm that
day: as always, we usually get more numbers and species, but that was it for
that weekend.
Regards,
Brian
Good evening Ray
These were my sightings last weekend: House sparrow 6,
Starlings 8, Blackbirds 5, Blue Tits 3, Feral pigeons 7, Robin 1, Great Tits 2,
Gold Finches 3, Collar Doves 2, Magpies 5, Dunnock 2, Long Tailed Tits 5,
Carrion Crows 4, Jackdaws 5, Greenfinch 2, Pheasant 1, Yellow Hammers 2, Black
Headed Gull 1(lots overhead!) With a bank, hedge and field next door, we always
have plenty of activity.
We have yellow hammers regularly. When we came here first
our keen friend in Horncastle Road had never seen one in her garden so was
sceptical. But with a good hawthorn hedge on top of a bank they come down to
take the seed I deliberately scatter for them. I do not think that Brian sees
them and he is only a few 100 yards away.
Hope to see you Friday.

I was pleased to see the Coal Tit as I have seen him
around in my garden recently when he got caught looking in the mirror at the
back of a glass ornament on the wall and could not get out.
I had a good look at him then until a crowd of other
birds gathered and diverted him from his fascination with his image.
See you on Friday
Best wishes to Jane

Christine

Ray 85 species this week (John)
Here is my list of birds observed for the Big Garden Bird
Watch:
1 magpie, 3 blackbirds, 2 blue tits, 6 chaffinches, 9
goldfinches, 2 sparrows, 1 robin, 1 long-tailed tit, 2 pigeons and 1 great tit.
This is representative of what we see in the garden,
although we often see collared doves and starlings.
Best wishes

Hi Ray,
My list from last Sunday
is 6 blackbirds, (fighting over some apples) 1 blue tit, 1 great
tit, 2 collared doves, 1 starling, 2 wood pigeons, 1 thrush and from the front
garden 17 (at least..... they kept moving) sparrows
Not very inspiring
but it all helps in the count Since then of course I have had chaffinch,
greenfinch, robin, long-tailed tits, dunnock and a wren but not in the hour last
weekend.
See you on Tuesday, Sue
The peregrine nest tray
was installed on Monday, though sightings have been rather sparse in the past
couple of weeks.
Regards
Geoff (Mullett)
Your long tailed tits were in our garden, Ray. 7 of
them. Also, 1 blackbird, 2 robins, two blue tits, two great tits, about 15
house sparrows, a wren.
At the back, in the field, five magpies, 7 crows cock pheasant, a flock of pigeons and a flock of sea gulls. FYI, the following day(Monday) in our young woodland at Raithby by Splilsby I saw a Kingfisher, two barn owls, a buzzard being harried by rooks and I heard a green wood pecker.

Can't match Biff for
numbers or diversity but my results were as follows:
Blackbird 4
Blue tit 2
Chaffinch 2
Coal tit 2
Collared dove 2
Dunnock 1
Great tit 1
Greenfinch 3
Jackdaw 5
Robin 1
Siskin 1
House Sparrow 7
Starling 3
Wood pigeon 2
Most of the normal
candidates put in an appearance apart from the Goldfinches. My bird of the day
was the Siskin, who obviously came specially to brighten my day! Louise
Judith John here and I live in the centre of Louth. I
saw, for the garden bird watch, 13 blackbirds, 5 long tailed tits, 2 coal tits,
3 blue tits, a great tit, 2 chaffinches, 7 starlings, 5 sparrows and a
bullfinch. And also 2 ring-necked collared doves and 4 woodpigeons.
Other birds seen in the garden but not on the day include a greenfinch, jackdaw and last summer we had 2 hedgehogs!

And of course there was my
sightings which included a couple of Common gulls and 5 Black-headed gulls. These
noisy birds sit on our roof waiting for bread or better still scraps of meat.
