First time out birding in two weeks thanks to the flu, I've finally managed to shake it off and I can finally leave the house and at last end my birding hiatus.

There were plenty of House Sparrow to be seen and heard as well as plenty singing Robin and Dunnock. It's nice to see the Black Headed Gulls with their breeding chocolate-brown heads coming through, it's just a pity they're so noisy. There was also plenty of sightings of birds getting their nests ready for breeding, from the Tits up to the Corvids.


Birds seen today were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Dunnock. Wren, Robin, Jay, Fieldfare, Redwing, Collared Dove, Blackbird, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Moorhen, Coot, Tufted Duck, Mallard and Canada Goose.

Birds see in the garden during my haitus were as follows, Goldcrest, Blackcap (female), Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Coal Tit, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Robin, Starling, Pied Wagtail, Blackbird, Magpie, Woodpigeon and Feral Pigeon. Also seen flying/hovering overhead were Sparrowhawk, Kestrel, Buzzard, Grey Heron, Jackdaw, and Carrion Crow.
