Bird of prey with white rump = hen harrier in my book, yes.

I've now actually measured the distance from my one-sparrow-in-12-years garden to the hedgerow up the road where they're always chattering. It's 120 metres! You'd think they'd have to end up my garden occasionally, if only by accident!

My next door neighbour had spadges at hers and I never had one in well over ten years. Super territorial they are. I bet she didn’t see the six waxwing that I spotted one winter afternoon from the upstairs landing window, or dash out to hear migrating pinkies calling in the low cloud the same winter Which reminds me . . . keep ‘em peeled for winter visitors. Not long now  Nice to see some house martin last night while waiting to run with club mates from Lothersdale mind

Didn't see any swallows on my run today. Did see a wren chasing a dunnock in the garden earlier, wonder if the dunnock was getting confused.

There’s a house up the road from us and they have spadges in a bush in their garden. I bet there’s none next door, where they have a fence

Loads od swallows hunting for insects here, as well as a Blauwe Kiekendief. Going to look up what that is in English...
