Interesting video! In order of first appearance I saw the following in your bird bath bonanza: robin, blackbird, nuthatch, blue tit, dunnock, greenfinch, chaffinch, great tit, coal tit, blackcap, magpie. That's eleven species, just as you said.
I’ve been pond watching in my garden and I must admit I was quite surprised how many different bird species were flying backwards and forwards to wash (do birds wash or bath?) and drink. As an experiment I set up my miniature camera near the pond so that I could count them all. Nine different species or more???Take a look at the footage below. I think nine different species (maybe even eleven) visited the pond to drink or wash. I’m not sure you will agree. Let me know what you think.I will post the names of the birds “I think” I spotted in a couple of days.Big clue… one of them was a very big, noisy black and white bully…Species I think I saw:Robin Blackbird Nuthatch Dunnock Greenfinch Blue Tit Chaffinch Coal Tit Blackcap Great Tit MagpiePosted in Birds, Dorset, Nature, Wildlife Tagged: corfe mullen, Dorset, garden birds
