Since the neighbours hacked down all their bushes and replaced them with a stalag fence last year, bird visitors to the gardens have been scarce. But these past few days have brought regular visits from a mistle thrush and a collared dove. Seen the occasional song thrush around in the past, but a long time since I’ve seen a mistle thrush anywhere, so a welcome visitor.
Now had a crow visit: first time I’ve ever known one come so close.
