Our garden is by any means not spacious, but we do enjoy all the wild birds that seems to take ressidence or visit our garden on a regular basis. Throughout the year we have the following bird species visiting and I've done my best to find their English names:
- Great Tit (Parus Major)
- Eurasian Blue Tit (Parus Caeruleus)
- House Sparrow (Passer Domesticus)
- Dunnock (Prunella Modularis)
- Common Chaffinch (Fringilla Coelebs)
- Common Blackbird (Turdus Merula)
- White Wagtail (Motacilla Alba)
- European Goldfinch (Carduelis Carduelis)
- European Robin (Erithacus Rubecula)
- Eurasian Magpie (Pica Pica)
- Western Jackdaw (Corvus Monedula)
- Common Wood Pigeon (Columba Palumbus)
- European Turtle Dove (Streptopelia Turtur)
What type of birds come and visit your surroundings?

I'll be completly honest and say I am not the photographer, my partner took the picture one afternoon while we where watching the birds in our garden. But I think he has a quite decent hobby setup (photocamera)

I'm sorry to hear that due to vegetation you see very few birds around your neighborhood. We only have our plum tree, but do have a few hedges as well.
