Friday 24th Dec 2010 - Garden Birdwatch & Seasons Greetings

This morning at 8:15am an incredible 52 Cormorants flew NW straight over my garden. Prior to this sighting 4 had been the maximum that I had recorded here. The cold snap is certainly producing some interesting cold weather movements.

The 2 ♂ Blackcaps were again present at the bird table this morning.

Finally, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas!
