I'd rather be a Sparrow than a Snail....


The House Sparrows seem to be doing OK around Stuntney Heights and in addition to the 40 or so post breeding birds frequenting a nearby stretch of hedge we have 3 pairs preparing, or more accurately renovating, their nests beneath our eaves for a second round of breeding.  This has given me plenty of opportunity to say a cheery hello back to their chirruping and admire them in their varying states of  smart brownness.
