First bird of my day: a wood pigeon sat on a chimney pot in the pouring rain. I look around and see that every chimney pot in a row as a pigeon on it. Feathered centuries. I like them. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

First bird of my day: another jackdaw in the rainy sky, heading for the shelter of the trees. Last night I watched about thirty jackdaws gather in a tree at the far end of the field, before heading off to their roost. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Rooks - a tumbling twosome with falsetto cries.

Two jackdaws on the roof opposite were FBsOMD. One perched on a chimney pot, this bird's partner looking down from a TV aerial under a sky brightened up after earlier, much needed rain.

#FirstBirdOfMyDay: back home & damp Great Tits seem to be the only birds braving the (very welcome) persistent rain this morning

Chaffinch and Great Tits on the feeders. A pleasant morning here.

No rain here, just a dull grey sky with the yellow of a great tit bringing brightness to the early morning. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Nuthatch again, this time out of the cottage kitchen window, combing the moss on the rocks by the gravel parking place. #FirstBirdofMyDay

With you on the very loud Woodpigeons… seem to be really puffing their chests out. Seeing more Blackcaps and also Woodpeckers who seem to be having some high-pitched arguments; territory debates?

The Woodies were the Second Bird of My Day, flushed out of a tree by an impatient Hooded Crow who went barging into their roost, cawing and flapping wildly. How rude! #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Mine was a magpie, helpfully cleaning up the spillage under my bird feeder.
