As tempted as I am to do this, standing on the sloping extension roof is the only place I can obtain a good enough vantage, and I may get seriously strange looks (more so than usual) if im out there from 5am to 9pm...
When you'd previously talked about going up on the roof, I was assuming it was a flat roof!!!

It would be like the Strangeways riots all over again, water cannons would be deployed

There's now prizes available for this, including for: Most species identified Longest time spent searching / watching Rarest bird found Most species from indoors (for those without a garden) and a sweepstake for how many species seen across all entrants.
There's people from all over entered, including Shetland, Orkney and the Western Isles, and plenty on the east coast and down south... north west is very under-represented though!
So, apparently there's a lockdown garden bird race happening on Saturday 16 May... check out #gardenbirdrace on Twitter for details.
