Yes Yes !!!! My first sparrow for about 4 years has been in the feeding tree this morning

. Seemed to be alone but hopefully more will follow, I am so excited, tho if anyone said that about a sparrow about 10 years ago I'd have laughed. Anyone else had some back after a substantial dirth ?

They're lovely little birds, we're lucky round here, never been without them but I know how excited I get when I see something unusual.

A female Juvie has just taken up residence in my back garden...I am just hoping the neighbourhood cats don't get her...she doesn't hurry away when I go out. She startled me earlier when I went to the wheelie bin and she suddenly caught my eye aboud 3 feet away from me.
