Addition to garden list

Nipping home at lunchtime found at least 7 Blackbirds and a Song Thrush in the garden. Strongly suspected the Dunnock to be present again (no bins) but a smart male Greenfinch under the feeders was unmissable. "From the garden" list currently stands at 48 and "in the garden" at 27. Smart birds in the garden include Hen Harrier (twice on consecutive days, a male then a ringtail) and Brambling. From the garden includes Long-tailed Duck and Slavonian Grebe (admittedly on distant Loch Harray but identifiable none the less).
