That's really fab greenfinch2

, such a lovely bird

. I haven't seen it again since that day, I really hope it wasn't just passing by and comes back for some food again . I haven't seen any sparrows since summer either, which is bothering me

, hoping to see them too.
My little wren seem to be establishing herself here though, which is just fab! She was very active on the feeders today

, as well as all the usual suspects

They may have been Redwings. Song Thrushes are not gregarious.

I saw one of my Sparrows inspecting the Sparrow Terrace. I thought this was the quiet period in avian house hunting.

Spotted a flash of white in the largest pyrawotsit this morning. I thought it might be an unusual visitor but couldn't tell what type. Got a little excited that it might be a ptarmigan or an osprey

until it obligingly flew down onto the grass.
It was a sparrow with a piece of bread in its beak
