Staying at Barb's.

The first day in the UK started with a morning's gardening for Jayne’s sister Barbara, as I tatted around in the back garden I was regularly dragged away from my tasks by birds flitting around in the Hawthorns (Crataegus monogyna) along the towpath of the canal running along the rear of the garden.
These included a few highlights, a pair of Dunnocks (Acentor Común / Prunella modularis) which I have only seen on a couple of occasions back in Spain, a small flock of Fieldfare (Zorzal Real / Turdus pilaris) and a low flying Mute Swan (Cisne Vulgar / Cygnus olor) heading along the canal.

Later I had a stroll along the canal, but the fog made taking any worthwhile photos hard to get. I did see Common Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula), European Robin (Petirrrojo / Erithacus rubecula), Eurasian Blue (Herrerillo Común / Parus caeruleus), Coal (Carbonero Garrapinos / Parus ater), Great (Carbonero Común / Parus major) and Long-tailed Tits (Mito / Aegithalos caudatus), Eurasian Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto), Carrion Crow (Corneja Negra / Corvus corone), Rook (Graja / Corvus frugilegus), Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Eurasian Wren (Chochin / Troglodytes troglodytes), Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos), Eurasian Coot (Focha Común / Fulica atra) and Common Moorhen (Gallineta Común / Gallinula Chloropus).
