We have birds that reside with us - a small flock of about twenty sparrows live in our hedges, along with a family of great tits, and a robin. Two by two, wood pigeons, blackbirds, thrushes and blue tits visit daily. And occasionally a greater spotted woodpecker. And nuthatch. All nice.
But what's better is the small flocks of birds that come to the field and refuel for a few days before moving on. Fieldfare and redwings have been and gone, as per last year, but for the last week we've had about 200 corn bunting swirling around, and sitting on our tree and telephone lines. It took me most of the week to work out what they were and as soon as I did, off they pootled. Wonder if they'll be back next year.
