Spent the day at the local garden centre, inviting members of the public to watch birds, complete the Big Garden Birdwatch, and generally enjoy wildlife encounters. Lots of birds including greenfinch, chaffinch, house sparrow, dunnock, collared dove, wood pigeon, long-tailed tit, robin, great spotted woodpecker, great tit and blue tit.
Nice surprises were a chiffchaff and a couple of kestrels circling overhead and then completing a courtship dive.
Not all feathers either - squirrel and foxes visited the site.
Lots of great people, keen to share their wildlife stories. I ended up tired and freezing cold, but feeling like a day well spent.
