6 White-throated Sparrows GBNHNR Jan 2

Looks like the feeders were topped up at the Heron Reserve this afternoon, evident by 6 White-throated Sparrows feeding there. I saw a group of 4 feeding under the feeder with the blackberry bushes, and then checked the other feeder with the reindeer statues and saw 2 more. I turned back and saw the same group of 4, so I knew I was seeing 6 different birds at once and not just some that decided to sneak off. It was interesting to see them in a group like that. It seems they are becoming more common in the checklist area, I remember when seeing just 1 there was noteworthy. 

 

There was also 1 male Eurasian Wigeon in the north lagoon.
