linde 17 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Think they call a flock of goldies a jewel or a charm, not sure which. ATB Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pet cats,not so many gamekeepers about these days so the sparrow hawk numbers are increasing(yes we know they never really shot any bop's but )hedge rows going,sprays used by farmers many reasons really. SS a good little pocket hand book is a handy thing and your'll surprise yourself once you start recognizing them how many more you will see Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,474 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Every thing seems to be struggling for grub just now even seeing more pigeons at bird feeders and on the grass in the middle of roundabouts than in the fields Quote Link to post Share on other sites
