This is the weekend when people count birds for an hour in their garden or park, recording the numbers in the largest group (so not to double count the same bird) of each species.
I cheated a bit by counting the birds in next door's garden (none in mine, but I did have a neighbour's cat in it most of the time). Even so I got only one feral pigeon, one blackbird and 3 house sparrows.
Snowdrops just about to open in the garden. Looking at my perpetual diary I see they are usually open the first week of February, so not much advance on most years despite the mild winter.
