Of Sparrows and Coconuts

Well, only one coconut and then only the shell. This one started life as a suet filled feeder but once it was empty the position of the cut-out made it ideal as a seed feeder. It is very popular with many of the smaller birds. Yesterday it was the turn of the House Sparrows to make full use of it:

What's on the menu today?

  2. Always good to see the humble Sparrow.
    I'm lucky if I get half a dozen here now.

    1. Keith, I'll try for some pictures tomorrow. There must be over a hundred here in a flock. They may not be sparrows but they sound like them. They must be roosting nearby as the little darlings empty my feeders between three and four in the afternoon.
