"Dont know about anyone else, but I never see Robins anymore."
When I lived out in the sticks one managed to get into ma living room, took me about 2 hours to get the pesky little blighter out
I live in the City centre now and there's always Blackbirds, Wagtails, Owls and Chaffinches about, I wonder if they just go with the flow as it were and make the best of a bad situation |

Certain "songbirds" have been decreasing in numbers for quite some time..the reason thought to be too much tidyness in private land and gardens and an unfortunate increase in the scavenger/ predatory birds such as magpies. National Trust researched this with RSPB when I contracted to them a decade ago. They reduced the burning of debris and brash going more over to the stacking. Its the decrease in insect population thats affecting the bird population. |

Abundance of everything round here, ploughing a field the other day and someone counted 23 buzzards , they even walked across the field to tell me. I told them it wasn’t uncommon, they couldn’t believe it as that was more than they had seen in their entire life. |
