All the birds heard in the garden
Every species heard in the garden has a drawing made after an old plate. Here they stand at the same relative size as on the wall, scaled by body length. The scale is compressed, otherwise the grey heron would take the whole page. Click a bird to see the original plate. The species heard on the most days since 26 July 2026 come first. A day counts when the species made the day's list.
