Well our garden gathering of between 50 & 70 Spugs & Spugettes have been
sheltering in the bushes this afternoon only daring to pop out to the
feeders between the hail showers!
Very gusty here at present 20.40 with light showers.

Other resident species still here.

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


... we've got the sparrows down here methinks!


I've also seen a pair of long-tailed tits (new to me) and a grey bird
with a black head, about the size of a blue-tit. I think it's called a
Black Cap, also new to me.

Weather-wise (just to keep this vaguely on-topic) it's clearing now, and
calming down a bit. Sky is 70% clear, wind from the WNW.
