By far the most popular bird in my garden is the sparrow.

I like how you used the tree as a natural frame here, Paul. Very clever and well done.

Thank you Levina. Yes the branches do make things more interesting. Otherwise it would just be a starling on the grass which is not so interesting.

There's usually just one Dunnock in our garden(just like one Robin), a bit shy but with a distinctive call, often see it but can seldom take photo's(and both on artificial sticks).

Thank you.
I usually save the Buddleja branches after cutting back in spring(also good fot staking plants) and after a storm there are branches in the street from the Ash trees.

I will be going for a walk at lunchtime in search of a few branches / sticks to add to my bird outdoor studio :)

I agree, here there are several who steal all the birdfood, even from the special feeders just for the small birds.
