Doom and Gloom

..... But on the positive side I added another species to my 'Birds Out the Window at my Course' list - Meadow Pipit [flyover]. That's 13 now - not bad for a lunch break's worth of gazing at some roof space, a couple of trees, a bit of tangly ivy-covered bank, and a big Budlea! The Grey Wagtail was back today - evidently not so lost as branching out to new habitat??? Not what you'd expect of a Grey Wag - the only watercourse nearby is the Fleet, and that's slightly underground....

In Garden news... Everything's busy being spring-like. Great, Blue and Coal Tits, Chaf and Green finches, Spadgers, Dunnocks, Robins, Wrens, Blackbirds, Herring Gulls, Carrion Crows, Jackdaws, Magpies, Collared Doves, Woodpigs...::Deep Breath::...Feral Pigs, Pied Wags, Starlings, Swifts, Chiffchaffs... Have I left anybody out? No sign of Song Thrush for some time now, and no House Martins [though they might just be being elusive].
