Day 19.271: Incidental birding

We’re in the UK for a brief visit. Today we were mostly sleepy, but we did spot some birds and I had a few minutes walking under some trees.

Here is my incomplete list for the day:

Feral pigeons - around the outside of the airport terminal 

Starling - one visited us as we waited for our rental car

Common magpie - several along the road

Red kite - showed up on cue as we approached Oxford

Jackdaw - one perched on a lamp in a car park. 

Wood pigeon - several as we drove around. 

Here is part of my Merlin sound list from my brief spell under the trees:

I saw the blue tit and got a blurry photo. I also clearly saw a great tit and recognized long-tailed tit by sound and saw movement that corresponded. I heard the robin, but the others I can’t say with any confidence.
