The Joy of Nature - big bird watch and surprising behaviour of a cow!

Marianne72

Here are two things to cheer you! Take part in the Big Garden Bird Watch this weekend. This is a joyous thing to do, knowing you will be part of a much-needed citizen science project by RSPB. The second is amazing behavour of a farmyard cow, using tools. Enjoy!

  • We enjoyed doing the bird watch today, though as usual you do it, make your count, then an hour later there seems to be twice the amount in the garden! 

    A small Chaffinch flock was the greatest numbers, but only then 1 or 2 of the rest- green finch, blue tit, dunnock, blackbird, robin, coal tit, siskin, house sparrow. 

    Now there are more numbers of the rest and bullfinch too! But my numbers are submitted so no fudging the results. I think the wind was a bit strong earlier and it's improved now as the red squirrel is about now too.
