It’s not often I get to comment about the garden birds, but there have been a couple of notable sightings to share with you in the last week.

First, a fieldfare joined the many blackbirds on the apples I put out. Here’s the bad photo of that.

Well, you’ll just have to believe me! This next one is more clear-cut however; a female sparrowhawk.

Visiting our sparrow roost, though nobody was at home. Worth a shot though as I’ve seen it catch them there.
