11th October 2015

I'm up to 28 bird species seen in or flying over* the garden at Llanelli since we moved in on 6th July 2015, its a long way off the 54 species at our old garden in the Cotswolds seen over 4 years.

After a slow start though I am beginning to build up number of individual species and now can have up to 15 Blue Tits, three or four Great Tits, two or three Coal Tits, a couple of Robins and the odd Dunnock; however a good count of 43 Goldfinches accounts for how fast the sunflower hearts are disappearing.

Goldfinches and Chaffinch

I should start to pick up a few waders as the autumn progresses, considering how close the estuary is.....
