Birdwatching under lockdown

Well, as of today most of us are home bound and likely to be so for several weeks but with hopefully a daily walk thrown in.
Looking on the positive side I've decided to do a garden bird list for the period of the Coronavirus lockdown. I get off to a good start with a surprise Green Woodpecker calling from somewhere around the Whitworth Park early on, it called several times and was clearly moving and I suspect it either went to Halldale Wood or Ladygrove. Several Mandarin flew over the house, commuting from the river to the ponds in Ladygrove and a lone Curlew flew over calling.
By the end of the day I had recorded 36 species which is a pretty good start.
Plenty of tits still visiting the garden, the Coal Tit is one of my favourites.

The warm weather has brought out a few butterflies and I've seen Brimstone, Comma and Small Tortoiseshell in the last couple of days.

Aberrations

James took this photo of, dare I say it, a white throated Robin yesterday at Swanwick - thanks to Ian for the location. It reminded me of the leucistic Coal Tit which is still at Carsington at the Lane End feeder having been first seen in October last year according to Roger. The Coal Tit was photographed by Ken.
Plumage aberrations in birds do not generally create a lot of interest although I think a few people have been to see the Coal Tit. 
Collecting aberrations used to be all the rage for butterfly collectors and still generates quite a bit of interest amongst entomologists.
I have struggled to see anything today but 200+ Brambling on Screetham Lane is a decent flock.

Another photo from the weekend. Coal Tits are easily the commonest birds at the feeder and the most active flying in and out usually without landing on anything but the feeder and therefore making photography a challenge.
