It is very rare nowadays for me to add to my garden list, but this weekend I have been lucky enough to add two species.
On Saturday morning a pair of stock doves were on the thatched roof of my neighbour (birds seen “from” the garden qualify for my list). Then on Sunday morning as I opened the curtains I spotted a common whitethroat as it alighted in a potentilla just outside the window. It then moved into the buddlia and appeared to be eating insects on the flowers. It only hung around for a couple of minutes before flying across the road into a neighbouring garden.
This brings my total garden species list up to 72 (Full list here).
