Whilst on holiday the cottage we stayed at had a family of blackbirds in the grounds and the male had a white patch on his collar hence the name. His party piece was to spend a large part of the day sitting on the chimney pot, his varied song was well amplifyed in the fireplace and amused us all week.

Interesting that you call Kestrels, Sparrowhawks down in AZ, Ruth. A Sparrowhawk is a totally different bird. In fact the English Sparrowhawk is the same as the American Cooper's Hawk. Not much going on in my garden right now. Lots of Collard Doves, Sparrows and House Finch. I've heard White-crowned Sparrows but not seen them yet. My shrubs got pulled up and we lost our big tree in the back garden, so I don't think I will see quite as much as past years. Sad! I hope more people report here. I love to see what everyones got going on in their gardens. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
