At the top of this blog post are the top ten bird species, counted during the national garden bird count in the Netherlands, on 16 and 17 January 2016.

There were more than twice as many bramblings as last year. There were also more chiffchaffs: this species usually migrates south in autumn, but the mild winter weather so far probably induced quite some birds to stay.

Some rare species were seen: Siberian lesser whitethroat; long-tailed rosefinch; and Oriental turtle dove.
