My wife got me birds of Europe last year because I once mentioned it's a neat book (my parents have it). Next thing I know I buy some binoculars for birdwatching and started tracking the birds that visit my garden. It's not a spectacular list but I am proud of it because I used the book to identify the birds and got it confirmed with birdnet. The list: house sparrow, blackbird, goldfinch, swift, common house martin, common linnet, greenfinch and blue tits. Edit: and wood doves
I love this list! OP, go out hiking in the spring and see some more. It's incredible to experience.
