Pre-07:00 Mistle Thrushes (thanks to VALERIE for the head-up) and ANOther little birdie for a second:
I'm paccking up now, unless anyone knows why I shouldn't. It's been never-ending
A truly charming video. I loved it. And how appropriate that the birdies were Mistle Thrushes ( a hem). Thanks Scylla

Did you see the little bird that flew off at the end? Is that what you're saying was also a Mistle Thrush and not a Stonehat or anything else?
And while I'm on Stonechats - would someone be so kind as to check my latest Foulshaw Moss video for the same?
There were three Mistle Thrushes !! I didn't even notice the ''little'' bird at end . I'll check
MM sorry, too grainy to tell but by size I would say it was another Mistle Thrush
Smiles, Jan.

Sorry Scylla , the shots could be of a lot of birdies - I dare not ID
I haven't seen any wee or big birdies, but I did see some sunshine, and grass beginning to grown on the nest and it is raining now.
It just goes to show how much the sun is moving round to the equinox again.
The grass growing - much clearer on the screen! LOL
and now the rain. It's not heavy now, but it is wet
