@JimsPhotos they weren't so cooperative for me during the big garden birdwatch.

Au Royaume Uni c'est le ce week-end, mais cette annee notre jardin est vide... Ce matin j'ai trouve un rapace (un epervier?) chassant dans notre jardin, voici une petite video.

In the UK we do the this weekend, but this year our garden was empty... This morning I found a raptor (sparrowhawk ?) hunting in our garden, here is a glimpse on camera.

The great spotted woodpecker arrived in the last two minutes of today's @Natures_Voice@twitter.com ! No sign of the bullfinches, starlings, wren or collared doves though.

I joined in the today. Not a lot of visitors to our back garden during the hour, but we had a few of the usual suspects: sparrows, robins, blackbirds, and great tits. There were a couple of goldfinches, though, which was nice.

Lovely video. They're one of our most beautiful garden birds, worthy of their collective noun 'a charm of goldfinches'. We rarely get them in our garden, but they never fail to make me smile.

Have you been doing the ? Still time if not ...

A low count for me in this year's 's .

1 chaffinch, 2 wood pigeon, 2 bluetit, 1 great tit and 1 robin.

Where were my blackbirds and the all the usual finches? Even the 2 magpies that have been trying to build a nest in my large conifer for over a week were a no show.

The weather was mild, dry, calm and overcast.
