Birding from the living room, it doesn’t get any more comfortable than this. I’m going to spend an hour with my binoculars and see what I can spot.

Very quiet on the feeding station front. First visitor, a coal tit, on the sunflower hearts.
Magpie briefly on a neighbour’s ariel. Blue tit in tree in neighbouring garden. Wood pigeon in flight.

The sunflower hearts are always popular with the tits, a blue tit this time. Wood pigeon on the feeding station.

Dunnock in the bush outside the kitchen window. It spends a lot of time there, also roosts overnight. Robin also in the bush.

Very enjoyable hour looking through the window. Ten species of birds seen, happy with that as it has been fairly quiet compared to normal.
