Focussing on my local birds, I start the first of a series of weekly bird watches in my garden. With descriptions and recordings of the birds seen. This week we also have lots of bird sightings from listeners around the world.

During the count, I recorded the following birds: Red-Legged Partridge Dunnock Wood Pigeon Greenfinch Chaffinch Collared Dove House Sparrow Coal Tit Magpie
