All birds today!

Friday 29th January 2021

I try to spend time on Friday working on my pocket sketchbook project - theme for this month Birds! Lots of people have been posting on our Facebook page and I really wanted to post something myself today as we are nearly at the end of January. I worked on this thrush for several hours, I really like it - I was brave enough to draw it directly into the book which is a good start and just posted it on the Facebook page as well.

Also did my Big Garden Birdwatch this morning - in the rain. I sat in the garden in my waterproof trousers and counted - 1 Robin, 1 Great Tit, 1 Magpie, 1 Dunnock, 2 Blackbirds and 3 Blue Tits. To make sur that you dont double count you have to count only the birds that land in your garden and the biggest number you see at the same time during the hour. Quite successful I think - all down to the bird feeders!
