Much of we see in the garden just from looking out of the window in our sitting room.

My ability to identify birds and their songs is not particularly good, Julie's is much, so some of this record is from using Merlin Bird ID on my smartphone..

• Chiffchaff
• Common Wood Pigeon
• Eurasian Blackbird
• Eurasian Wren - nesting in the haybarn
