Bird count...no... but interest yes

We tried to do a bird count like some friends. Dd ruled up the chart and wrote out the bird names and everything.
Just never filled it in.
I think it might of been too limiting as we see a lot more birds than what was on the list.
Dd is becoming very good at listening and naming birds with only a quick glimpse. Both she and ds are quick to he their bird books and the other day found some really small (oh goodness I've forgotten ...but they haven't) but they were so small little birds on my lavender.
Dd is a little upset she has not seen a rosella yet as I keep pointing them out as they fly by.
She's got it in for miner birds though and would like to make more nest boxes to protect the natives from the miner.
