Small birds with some red or pink markings are among those most favoured by visiting birders. Not just whinchats and stonechats, but also linnets and redpolls may be found. In the last two days I've also seen goldfinches, chaffinches, bullfinches and woodpeckers, all having red markings. And the trusty friendly robin should not be left out. The robin is a genuine songbird but I would classify many of the others as twitterers, Even so to judge from recent events these twitterings show a certain purpose and intelligence not shared by humans who twitter. As for newspapers we once used to call 'serious', words fail me.
