Just listened to it again I said Ahhh gone, but I'm going to have to give the window cleaner a clip round the earn OUCH
PPH we have over 20 odd Sparrows they are a mixture of Tree, and House Sparrows. At the begining of the year we only saw a couple, and your right they are on the Red List. One Bird we havent got is a Robin we had one early in the year, but since the hard weather we've not seen one

Lovely to see Woody again WS, i've never seen a woodpecker in my garden. I love the photo of the Sparrow in mid flight, really nice

Yes I like that one Mrs S got it yesterday. It's a young Male you can tell because it has a Red Crown, but it looks quite big if it's this years fledgeling. I'm not sure how old they are before they loose the Red on top
WS

I've just posted our woodpecker visitor under Summer Watch. Do they lose the red WS? I thought males had a red head and females didn't I think i need to go and look in my book .................

I checked in my book Lai, and this is what it said " The male has a distinctive red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown." So I'm assuming it's a young male

brilliant pics and videos

my sparrow came back today when I was watching the birds but it got frightened off when the neighbours in the flat above started having a blazing row GRRRRR

How annoying is that PPH, people often ruin things for the wildlife and the lovers of it too. Hopefully your little sparrow will be back soon
