Do you know that Dave Sutcliffe is doing ...Hi Mike,<br />Do you know that Dave Sutcliffe is doing a Swallow, etc survey this year? That was a good count of swallows.<br />At last someone else backs up my observation of the 2 sparrow species mixing in flocks.<br />Breeding still going on here too. Four Dunnocks fledged last weekend. Blackbirds with three newly hatched nestlings today.Steve Blacksmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795912451617499115noreply@blogger.com
