Given that this weekend sees the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch 2009, I thought it would be helpful to repost these two diagrams from the Hooting Yard archives, giving readers some idea of what to look out for, in their gardens, through their binoculars, this weekend. (Click to see the diagrams a bit bigger.)
I noticed the RSPB site has to register separately in Scotland. Are the birds the same? Is nonchalance in the same place on a Scottish bird as, say, one hanging outside a London pub? At any rate, I will never look at our ravens the same way again.
devora : I have appointed a registered Scottish ornithological expert to provide accompanying Caledonian bird diagrams at the earliest opportunity.
