Wet-weather birding

Terry tells me that a soggy Sparrowhawk visited his Coburg Road garden today - raptors find it very difficult to hunt in wet weather. Meanwhile in St Andrews Park there was a Jay, a Coal Tit, a couple of Long-tailed Tits, several Blue and Great Tits, a Dunnock, 3 Starlings, a few Blackbirds and a Mistle Thrush.

A singing Blackcap and a confiding Jay were near the Royal Mail office in Station Road, and another singing Blackcap and a pair of Coal Tits were at the station, also a female Blackbird was seen carrying nesting material.
