We are lucky enough to get an abundance of the little pink and black long tailed ones here, very pretty.

I prefer Tits. Beautiful creatures to watch. Sound like there is a small family in the bird box.

Indeed Godiver, but I still prefer their twitterings to that dang "Different Sizes" song.

I think most of the housemartins migrated to the beautiful south several years ago.

On a brighter note, I really enjoy the owls waking me up at about 4 am.
There are a pair of Tawnys out the back and the noise begins with the female shouting the owlish equivalent of of "Twit ! where the fek are you? You feathery old git!"
To which the male replies "Twit to you too!"
They are far too noble to be a mere bird, despite their apparent foul(sic) language.
