Big Garden Birdwatch

Anyone else done this? I did today, though my haul was a bit disappointing, & frustratingly, I've failed to identify one of the few birds that turned up while I was watching. I think a lot more waited until I'd gone, to judge by the depletion of the bird table & feeder.

Not too late - you can do it tomorrow.

Today's Observer has quite a nice garden bird supplement in it
