Rooftops, and the clear sky above them, with no birds at 5.35am excepting one silent woodpigeon stood on the round ridge tiles of a pitched roof looking away from me.

#FirstBirdOfMyDay: a very alarmed Robin, Red breast bobbing; sitting on the fence, in amongst the honeysuckle, shouting its alarm call for all to hear

A wren, not seen for a while, exploring around the bases of a group of flower pots in the shady corner of the patio, then taking to flight as I opened the doors. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Reprimanded by a clucking blackbird for sneezing loudly by the backyard moth trap. No hirundines here #FirstBirdofMyDay

Mine was house martins too twittering to each other as they whizzed overhead. They do sound friendly don’t they. Filling up on insects before heading off for the winter soon. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

First bird of my day: a male Bullfinch flying along the roadside on my way to work on a misty, cool morning before the heat builds. #Firstbirdofmyday

We have a large group of House Martins that gather in the evening over the park, but in the morning, Swifts still rule! Luckily we still have a few, otherwise I’d be waiting a long time for the #FirstBirdOfMyDay

The unmistakable "tick tick" human monitor warning sound from a robbin in the churchyard bushes, alerting everyone about me passing through the area... Not seen or heard any Robbins for a while, they must be keeping low. #firstbirdofmtday

The garden magpie perched on an elm branch and carolling madly as I walked outside. A few seconds later another one appeared and followed me up the garden path. I think they were hoping for scraps - not today my beauties! #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
