We used to have both types of sparrows but now we rarely see any.

You're not having my Robin's tho, they are the only small birds I'm not scared of. Nice and non fluttering.

There are plenty of tits about. Mostly found ignoring the social distancing rules.

Apologies I couldn’t resist.

Nuthatches
Great, Coal and Blue tits.
plenty of Long tailed tits.
Chaffinches & Goldfinch.
Jays
Wood Pigeons
Magpies
Jackdaws
Blackbirds
Song Thrush
Crows
Great spotted Woodpecker
Robins
Hedge Sparrows.

Squirrels! Loads of them!

That is very much par for the course.

Fair amount of birds here. It's been so lovely to hear them on our occasional walk, normally the traffic noise drowns them out!

We've had a male black cap visit over the weekend, and a blackbird is nesting in the jasmine. Not liking the magpies though, fingers crossed they don't get the eggs...
