Hi all
Needed a rest from the Red /Grey Squirrel debate so took a look at my garden. Just in time to catch sight of a wonderful male Sparrowhawk on the lawn. Seemed to be finishing lunch but no remains exept for the usual circle of feathers. Second time this week he has visited. Just as I was hopefull that some birds were returning to the garden in time for the Big Garden Bird Watch. This weekend I got my first sighting of a Coal Tit visiting the feeder. Not been around for a while and that is most unusual. The garden has been really quite this winter. I usually have a steady stream of Blue and Great Tits but only occaisional visits recently. No Wrens and although I heard a Song Thrush singing nearby last week there has been no sign of one in the garden. As some one mentioned to me earlier, maybe it is a good sign. They must be feeding somewhere.
Cheers
