Happy Lockdown birds
Noticed a lot more birds about last few weeks,Had 23 sparrows, 5 finches, and 2 blackbirds on our 10m x4m postage stamp this morning.May have been Sunday service or a reunion but nice to see them.Wondering if it is the lack of traffic or the cats in the neighbourhood staying in while their caregivers are, also.Be interesting to see if they thin down again when things get back to the old normal or perhaps that will never happen..
