Birds - the bike list

The only strenuous exercise I can get during the Covid-19 lock-down is to ride my bike.  As birds are a bit more conspicuous now that there are fewer people about, I thought it would be amusing to play the twitcher and compile a 'bike list'.  The rules are - no binoculars (which would have been impossible anyway) and no stopping to identify anything and heard birds count.  They have to be identified on the move. Stopping to identify a bird and then riding on while keeping the same bird in sight would be cheating! That means that this list is full of easily identifiable birds but it's a reasonable length under the circumstances.

So, in no particular order -

1. Blackbird
