Bird bonanza

The garden is slowly coming to life after a rather cold winter. Encouragingly we’ve had a lot more birds in the garden recently. In fact, just now, we had four species at the same time:

• Dunnock (Prunella modularis)
• Collared dove (Streptopelia decaocto)
• Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)
• Wood pigeon (Columba palumbus)

It may not seem like much for those who live in the countryside but for a city garden that used to be very barren I think it’s a great sign.
