Default Big Garden Bird Watch How Did You Go?

I hope some of you are taking part in the Big Garden Bird Watch and if so how about telling us what you had in your garden in this one hour watch (this is not too distract from the normal Garden Birds Thread)

I will post my results right after I have finished here's hoping everyone has a good sighting or two.

Not that it's a problem, better two than none.
