Our Big Garden Birdwatch event was from 2:00pm onwards today (25th January). Unfortunately it started raining just about at the start time, eased off a bit, and then we had thunder, lightning, a hail storm, and heavy rain for about an hour! The birds understandably found somewhere to shelter (we chose the Arbour), and I think that all we managed before the weather were 4 wood pigeons and 3 crows. An interesting event, but happily everyone enjoyed the challenge, and thank you to those who came. We hope to see you again in 2015, when we can only hope the weather will be better.
