Lots of house sparrows in my (rural) garden. No jays in the garden, but lots around in the woods. Song thrushes too, and dozens of blackbirds.

Oddly, I never get starlings feeding in the garden, even though they usually nest under the eaves.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a tree sparrow.

Jays are so exotic. When I was a kid I’d occasionally find one of their blue feathers and got really excited about it.

Great Jay photos and convo.

I’m having a break in Spain. We are in Segovia near the cathedral and it’s gladdened my heart to see loads of swifts around the old buildings.

The best views of a snipe I’ve ever had last night with a bird sitting on a roadside wall feet from my car

I emerged from a lake swimming club to see a moorhen right by my side. Many of the babies have been born into the busy swimming lake and seem to know the humans are friendly.

Curiously, the goldfinches, which most of the year are swarming around our sunflower seed feeder, have completely vanished, don't think I've seen one in the garden for days, and they're normally our commonest bird. At the moment by far the commonest birds on the feeder are this year's model blue tits and great tits, always a delight to see (I like to believe they're ones from nests in the garden), along with robins (which shouldn't be feeder birds but are), and also, quite often, collared doves (which really shouldn't be feeder birds but are).
