Coffee!

[Digit]

Just finished my coffee after a break in from woodwork and went into the kitchen to wash up, and on the path and the garden out side the window was a mixed flock of House Sparrows and Coal Tits.
Can't say that I've seen them together like this before.
I'll never get this coat rack finished!!

Just been reading on another forum that they think we,ve had a fall of Coal Tits but because they're "just Coal Tits" its being overlooked. So if we all keep a eye out for any extra in our gardens we should be able to tell?

I counted five this morning Morph, but we normally have a quite a few around as we have conifer wind breaks.
I'll hazard a guess that these were all from one brood as they seemed to have immaculate plumage.
In reference to another post about poor illustrations, I've got a rather tatty Reader's Digest bird book and the illustration of the Coal Tit looks nothing like the ones I see!

There's always a couple of coal tits in my garden, hadn't realised that there's been a fall in numbers.

Very sorry didn't properly explain myself, an influx of birds from the continent is known as a "fall"

Glad you explained that one, Morph I was thinking the same as Cheryl.

What an odd definition.
