Yes, an hour is a short time to watch. Usually I just look out of the window and see a blackbird eating the apples I've thrown out one time, or a woodpecker another time, or a couple of woodpigeons some other time, or some longtail tits, then a flock of roosting sparrows at dusk. But to see any or all in a particular hour - NO.

We had slim pickings this year even with having filled up all the feeders. Blue tits, robins, sparrows, doves and a starling. Bonus though - a red kite (they're always around here). I don't think chickens count.
