Garden Birdwatch

Cath up with her mum so I sat down with my breakfast to see how the snow would affect the variety and numbers of birds visiting the garden. I must not be the only one putting out a banquet for the birds at the moment as numbers seem well down. In previous years Goldfinches have numbered 16, this year only 3. The huge flock of Fieldfares drawn into the garden because of the poor weather seem to have dispersed just leaving one in sole charge of the apple. The only birds to have increased in numbers were Woodpigeons and Reed Buntings. I'm not sure whether I can cope with the cost of feeding 12 avian dustbins(the pigeons), I might have to come up with a new feeding strategy.
