Big Garden Birdwatch Weekend

It was the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend so we had the binnoculars ready.  I didn't think we would see many of the smaller birds because of the large amount of gulls in and around Aberdeen and this was certainly the case yesterday.  There must have been about twenty gulls circling and diving at something we couldn't see in a neighbouring garden.  However, on Saturday we did see a lot of activity at the bottom of our garden where several small birds were flying in and out of the hedge.  We could see that they had a bluish green back and yellow breast so are pretty sure they were Great Tits.  I watched two birds fly right inside the hedge but after five minutes or so they still hadn't reappeared so I assume they are nesting in there.  We have a lot of cats patrolling our garden so will keep an eye on these little ones.  I am also hoping that our little feathered friends will take a dip in my bird bath soon.  So far the birds just don't seem interested.  Maybe it's still a little cold...
