Time for an update. Still not been anywhere other than Leeds. Not been too good of late and neither has the weather.
Jan 19th: I cannot remember the last time if at all I saw two Robin in the garden, well this day I did, they landed in the lilac just outside kitchen window, that made my day! Also saw the following: Blue Tit - 4, Great Tit - 2, Goldfinch - 20, LT Tit - 2, H Spugs - 18, Greenfinch - 4, Blackie - 1pr, Jackdaw - 1, Wren - 1, Chaffinch - 5, Starling, Common Gull - 11, Magpie - 1, Wood Pigeon - 2 and C Dove - 4.

, Robin - 1, Dunnock - 1, Coal Tit - 1 plus usual gang.
Jan 29th: Sprawk - 1 female passed through back garden and again left with nowt, Dunnock - 2, Robin - 2, Greenfinch - 3 Blackie - 1pr.

Feb 4th: : Blackie _ 4, Great Tit & Blue Tit - 4 of each plus usual gang.
Feb 5th: Common Gull - 12 ( I put out the fatty parts of my gammon joint they took it off garage roof), Chaffinch - 9, Goldfinch - 16, Blackie - 4, H Spugs - 15, Great Tit & Blue Tit - 3 of each, Robin - 1, Greenfinch - 5, C Dove - 5, W Pigeon - 2, Crow - 1 ( managed to get some fat before the gulls
).
Been enjoying the birds of late especially the gulls when they spot me putting the scraps out, they start kicking up a racket and as soon as I go in it's every gull for itself and they sweep down and try to land, which isn't easy cos it isn't a flat roof but they manage it.
That's all for now.
Cheers
John
