‘My’ LTTs were late too, one often arrives with the goldfinch, which I find a little odd, but it didn’t today

Our LTTs missed out too. Along with a female blackcap that arrived just too late. Pleased to be able to report 2 jays though.
22 chaffs though. That’s wonderful, must have been mayhem! I wouldn’t know where to go to find one down here.
I see in the rspb stats that sparrows are top. Haven’t seen one here in years.

There are a few lapwing back on the fields round here at the moment. Usually back in February, so a bit early, but good to see them.
Not seen any Oystercatcher or Curlew yet. A few of the Golden Plover seem to hang around on the moors for the whole winter.

A goldcrest! Less than a metre away on a tree in front of me at eye level. Had a really good look for about 2 mins and saw every detail of its beautiful gold and red crest. Went into my rucksack to try to get a pic for this thread, but it had gone. Probably hopped over to next tree or was investigating a hole in the trunk. I didn't hear it flying away. What a great start to the day.

How lovely, Red Squirrel! Yes, they can be very confiding little birds. Best view I ever had was one maybe 1.5 metres away hopping around in a tree outside my front door, completely unbothered by my presence.

jacdaw, did you really have 22 chaffinches in your garden at one point, and 12 greenfinch? That's not cumulative over the hour?

I left my phone in the garden with the Merlin app recording for 30 minutes yesterday. There weren't any surprises although it did say it had detected a Redwing which I can't say I've ever seen. I didn't do this on purpose, there were a few different birds singing at once and I was trying to determine which was which, and forgot it was there.
I think it might be worth doing again.
