baw 4,360 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I have not heard one round here for about five years. Sad times Nope, me either. As you say, loads of Lappys and Curlew, the field in front of mine is chock full every year.We had a GS Woodpecker here last year, knocking feck out of the electric pylon (wood) last year, it'd be nice to see him again and our resident Spa will be getting herself ready to give our flock of hedge sparrows a bit of stick come nesting. Though my fave birdy thing last summer... Hearing that shrill call and looking up to see two or three Buzzard specks circling high in a blue, blue sky and not a cloud in sight, now there's summer for ya..! I don't think they would be a flock of Hedge Sparrows buddy...or did you mean sparrows that live in the hedge? I have not heard one round here for about five years. Sad times Nope, me either.

No, I didn't mean Dunnocks, just simply the house sparrows that live and die in my hedges. sparrows that flock to your hedge ---- got em here there hitting the feeders big time at the min. They can empty a feeder in no time. Hard winter, I can go through a 20kg bag of seed a week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
