Good attendance at our small bird table continues. Fortunately no very special visitors to attract carbon guzzling bird watchers, but a nice balance of the usual garden species. Current interest is around the robin numbers. Five were present at one time recently. Two were adults in sleek appearance, two were young ones one of which was very self confidently asserting his rights. And another was a small tailless character dodging about collecting scraps from the table much to the annoyance of the others. Usually as the nights get colder towards winter numbers of robins drop and serious competition develops. There are also blue tits, great tits and coal tits though chaffinches have been absent lately.
