Hi Tony, 4 male House Sparrows singing in the hedge next to St Mark's bridge entrance into the park at 1.30pm Sunday 12th. It was really delightful to hear them singing. They were so confiding, 2 sat out in the open with people passing by on the pavement next to them. It was a reminder of how things used to be!!

It is great that they are there, I will be installing some next boxes nearby. The only problem I have is the so called bird lady dropping food everywhere and rats coming to the garden.

Cheers

Tony

Great pics of Narnia I mean busy park.
Your Buzzard must be the closest London Buzzard.

I think that my Buzzard is surrounded by the suburbs, just about but the ones that you have seen just south of Elstree on the A41 are possibly slightly closer to St Pauls(the City). There are plenty of Rabbits in Bushy if that is what it is living on. I hope you managed to find some sparrows. I am off to Norfolk for just over a day, hope the weather is kind to me.
