Christmas jigsaw complete

This was actually bought for last Christmas, but we didn't get around to it then and with two dogs here over Christmas weekend, it almost didn't get started this year.  

One new habit that started this year has been using the Merlin app from Cornell labs to listen to the birds for 5 minutes each morning.  Our garden backs into mature oak and hornbeam woodland, so we don't always see a lot of birds, but we do hear them. So here are the birds that Merlin identified in December in order of the number of days they were heard:

Total species 35
Robin 28
Blue Tit 27
Great Tit 23
Parakeet 18
Redwing 14
Magpie 13
Long-tailed Tit 12
Nuthatch 11
Carrion crow 9
Song thrush 8
Blackbird 4
Dunnock 4
Siskin 4
Blackcap 3
Great spotted woodpecker 3
Starling 3
Treecreeper 3
Chaffinch 2
Goldcrest 2
Wood-Pigeon 2
Black Redstart 1
Bullfinch 1
Coal Tit 1
Firecrest 1
Green woodpecker 1
Jay 1
Marsh tit 1
Red-legged partridge 1
Wren 1
