Garden Birding in North Notts

Its been a while since I reported on birdwatching in my bit of North Notts - and ages since I updated the Garden Bird list.

The summer has been fruitful with the addition of a sighting of Turtle Dove which have bred locally to the list twice entering the garden up close and photographed too.

74 species

The winter of 2012 has started well with four new additions to the Garden list (in red type) and occasionally some photos (which were taken in 2012).
