It is quiet outside the window today. There was a house sparrows' nest under the eaves, but now the birds have gone. Yesterday I saw a parent bird feeding a youngster on the window ledge before flying into the hedge. They are eating a lot of seed. Are there a lot of sparrows this year? They seem to be everywhere. Here's one on some hogweed. A sparrow's song is not very sweet, but this dickybird on an electricity line is different. It's a goldfinch. Our neighbours had a problem - their telephone didn't work very well. Men from Open Reach had to fix it. They used a ladder to inspect the line. In the meantime, the other neighbours were making a new fence.
