RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch 2024 in Trewithen Gardens, 27 January 2024
We are so delighted to see 32x species of birds. There was even a huge flock of (around 300++) Redwings and Fieldfares. Trewithen Gardens has the best Camellia collection in various colours, shapes and sizes. Whenever I see Daffodils and Primroses, it makes me feel that spring is not that long now, it's just around the corner. The Snowdrops are in bloom. There's loads of buds of my favourite Magnolia and Rhododendron too.
