  Pity it weren't today my back garden has been full of them, the feeders busy with small birds and the tub of concentrated mealworm on the ground being visited by wood pigeons, magpies and collared doves.

  Not had anything as exotic as a Hawk Brian, plenty of blue tits, sparrows, finches and a Robin that drops by every day.

  My list so far this morning, numerous sparrows, starlings, pigeons, 4 magpies, jackdaw, blue tit, great tit, robin and best of all a pied wagtail who has been a regular visitor for the last week or so. These were all seen when I was looking out of the window at the front of the house at my bird feeder.
  
  Seagulls have also been swooping around but I refuse to feed them although they still hope something will come their way.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Much the same as Jan minus a jackdaw but plus two collared doves and a wood pigeon.
  
  I chased the sea gull off earlier.
