Garden bird count, Apr - Jun 2002
The numbers given are the total seen at any one time.
Green numbers indicate selected sightings from but not in our garden.
For mallards, the total number seen at once are not necessarily all in our garden, but all come intending to visit our garden and there would hardly be room for them all at once! As we can generally tell them apart, the total number of individual birds recognised and seen during the week is also given in brackets.
* includes what appeared to be a tame (though unringed) call duck paired with a wild mallard drake.
