Talking of sparrows made me realise that I haven`t seen a sparrow since we were on Lindisfarne in 2012! All we get here are seagulls, pigeons, and the occasional blackbird and magpie. We used to get a lot of pied wagtails on the riverbank at the front, but they seem to have deserted us now.
I`m saying that we don`t get many birds, but I haven`t included the ones on the river (well, canal), we do have a lot of ducks, plus some geese and swans, and once in a blue moon, a heron.
