RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch results 2010

The national results for the Big Garden Birdwatch showed that smaller-bodied birds are more susceptible to the cold and suffered from the length and depth of last winter.

The top 20 birds in Greater London gardens were:
Woodpigeon
Starling
House_Sparrow
Blue_Tit
Blackbird
Feral_pigeon
Robin
Great_Tit
Magpie
Collared_Dove
Goldfinch
Chaffinch
Carrion_crow
Dunnock
Ring_necked_parakeet
Long_tailed_tit
Greenfinch
Coal_Tit
Wren
Jay
On our birdwatch we didn't see any Collard Dove, Ring-necked Parakeet, Wren or Jay but we did spot a Common Gull, a Redwing and a pair of Mistle Thrushes.

    Saw three mistle thrush today, at top of the hill by playground. Saw one in the playground the day before and then one (possibly the same one) towards Vicars Hill.

    Plus saw a woodpecker, lesser spotted yesterday in tree near Bothy.

    Should I start feeding sparrows mealie worms or something now it is nesting season?

    Yes, now would be a good time to give sparrows extra help, and mealie worms are a favourite.
