My sparrows vanished for the winter ... are they with you ?
Other resident species still here.

I've had a few here in Stafford. *Lots* of finches as well.

You would be very welcome to take the raucous blighters that play
in our guttering. Incidentally, while scanning the view to compile the
1450Z weather report (in another post), I noticed well in excess of
150 fieldfare, 100 redwing and 40 starlings feeding on the pastures
at the edge of town.
