Never really kept a garden list before, so thought I'd give it a go - not that I'm expecting much (although in the past I have had some unusual sightings, such as a pair of wintering Firecrest, about 15 years ago!).
I live in a ground floor flat, and have a feeder set up near my patio. The main front door overlooks to a small fishing lodge, so I'll also include anything I see from the front door as well (it gets the odd bird such as Cormorant, BH Gull, Swallow, but again, not much).

I'll be lucky to get much in excess of 30 species, I reckon, but we'll see.

January 1
1 Common Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus)
2 Eurasian Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto)
3 Eurasian Magpie (Pica pica)
4 Coal Tit (Periparus ater)
5 Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus)
6 Great Tit (Parus major)
7 Goldcrest (Regulus regulus)
8 Eurasian/Siberian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea)
9 Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)
10 Common Blackbird (Turdus merula)
11 European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
12 Dunnock (Prunella modularis)
13 House Sparrow (Passer domesticus)
14 Common Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) - this is rarity in my garden!

[birdmeister]

Didn't get much yard time today in the rain, but several of the regular desert denizens (Verdin, Cactus Wren, Gila Woodpecker, Gilded Flicker, etc.) plus another American Robin (best winter ever for them here, I'm told).

Nothing yet for me so far today, but my local walk scored a pair of Coal Tits, which are mega birds in this area - only 500mts from home, so hopeful I might just add them later in the year.
