22/10/09House SparrowLower Earley15D J Mills
In contrast to lack of Earley records noted earlier,in Cutbush lane area they have been present all summer & this group regularly roost in bushes & wash in dustbin lid full of water in the back garden. Not seen in such high numbers before this year. Conversely this is the 1st summer for a long time that a pair of Bullfinches has not fed off the berries of the Amelanchier bush at all,normally here every day for 2-3 weeks or until berries exhausted.
