Ornithological tyranny

Ornithological tyranny minute 33:


[livejournal.com profile] altariel: Still No Pelicans

[livejournal.com profile] mraltariel: Imagine if they did this at Longleat. Flamingoes: 186. Sparrows: 0.

Okay, no pelicans. But what did you see?

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2008-01-27 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Three blackbirds (two male, one female), three woodpigeons, and a collared dove. A lovely big crow sat in next door's tree for a while and then flapped past, but because it didn't land, we couldn't count it.

Damn. Missed it.

You got a lot more this time than last year?

Yes, much more (although we did see a woodpecker last year). I forgot again to do it much earlier in the day.
