Garden Rarity

Had a nice wander around the woods this morning, Boris the Buzzard was still hanging around the Clay Pits, eyeing up the pair of Mallard (waiting for them to keel over?) but no sign of any Willow Tits.

A large female Sparrowhawk flushed everything as I walked down the road and the 2 female Kestrels are still hanging around near the Church - I haven't seen the male for a while.

The first highlight of the walk was a Barn Owl hunting the field edges near the box they nested in last year.

The real highlight ended up being on my feeders when I got home - a male House Sparrow! Only the second time I have seen one in the garden, the first was a male on the 18th February last year. Its amazing how much excitement a Spadger can cause...especially as the senior half of team Wilson still needs it on their garden list ;-)
