Tracey and Gwyn hoped for some exotic birds to watch for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch The first step was setting up the feeder, then watching. We saw ten house sparrows, two collared doves and one each of blackbirds and robin. Perhaps the exotic bird was in a pear tree? So... off we went to a National Trust arboretum and spotted 4 great tits, two great spotted woodpeckers, two robins, two blue tits, a chaffinch and a nuthatch. We also saw two red squirrels.
