Suddenly there are birds.
The local greenfinches, which has been all I've seen really since I added the second feeder station, hanging out on the sunflower feeders. The bird equivalent of chatting at the water cooler.
A blorb robin, a red flash as he darts to the seeds, then back to his spot on the naked apple tree.
Miscellaneous tits, mainly coal tits today, trying out the new station, dropping down from the favoured perch of the hawthorn tree (tree in size, not a bush).
My eye caught quick movement in the foreground, an itty bitty wren at the pond.
And suddenly sparrows. A fraction of the numbers I used to see in childhood, but a tiny flock, trying out the camellia bush for a perch, testing the seed feeder.
