      Working out the back today and I was kept company all the time by about 10 sparrows. They looked really fat but I presume they puff their feathers up against that biting easterly.

      yeah they puff their feathers out like that to help conserve heat. you cant help but feel sorry for them in this weather, it amazes me how they survive at all tbh food must surely be scarce? at least its not in our garden though...the bird table has never seen so much activity.

      Got gifted some foxgloves by the birds I think! How should I look after them?
