Subject: RE: BS: Birdwatching 2012
Doesn't sound too interesting, but there's a large group of hedge sparrows beside the village shop, in a hedge (of course) These little birds were so common in my childhood, but now they're not so numerous, so I was pleased to see them. They have a distinctive chirp, and dart in and out of their privet hedge to eat bread in the shopkeeper's garden. Have now about ten goldfinches all waiting their turn to perch on our hanging feeder. They seem to adore sunflower hearts just as much as nijer seeds. (Good, as the latter are expensive!)
