Default Weeeeeeed!
In article ,
lid says...

Our goldfinches get through at least one 25 kg sack of nyger seed per
annum. Since we started feeding it, they have multiplied to become the
third commonest bird at the annual garden bird-count.

Our goldfinches and other finches are seasonal. They thrive on bog
standard bird seed. How do these bird counts avoid counting the same
birds more than once?

Because you're not counting a grand total, but the size of a group
seen together at one time.
