In the zoo....

there is surely an irony in the fact that I saw more house sparrows at London zoo yesterday than for the entire year so far. They have everything they need...old buildings with lots of cavities for nesting and the livestock that generate spilt feed and the flies that they need for their nestlings. i just hope they don't become as rare as some of the exhibits. Lovely to hear a blackcap singing from within the conifer hedge....not long 'til Spring.....
