OK a bit OTish, but here in Dorridge Solihull, where pressure at 1043.8 at
midnight and current temp of 0.8C, I have had a record count of garden
birds.
Front garden a 3m crab apple at 1130 had on it and under it a flock of 38
redwings, two fieldfares, three song thrushes and four blackbirds. In the
back garden on my four feeders and below on the floor, as I type, 13
blackbirds, two collared doves, three woodies, SIXTEEN goldfinches, three
greenfiches, a robin and a pair of dunnocks, just waiting for neighbourhood
sprawk to make a meal of it.

Had bugger all for the big garden bird watch.
