Like last year I’ve kicking off this new year with a film of birds in the silver birch outside my kitchen window.
There are jackdaws, magpies, collared doves, starlings (or possibly some kind of tit, Haze will know)
All these birds seem to use this silver birch as a town-centre ‘lookout post’ or communication hub. So many birds were hopping on and off today. Maybe the unseasonally warm weather we’re having is making them frisky.
Warm and wet. That’s how it’s been all winter long. But come rain come shine, be it rook be it dove, the silver birch gracefully receives everything that throws itself on, or at, her.
