A weekend at home with grand-kids so no adventures looking for birds but Olive spotted the Tree Sparrow below on the niger feeder in my garden. The Tree Sparrows had increased to eleven birds this week and now I believe this one makes it fourteen which was last years high. I'm not sure whether the bird is leucistic or just missing a pigment but either way it's a pleasure to see it and we hope it stays around. I've also posted another leucistic bird below, some photos from my hide rota week and a Starling I'd used a settings practice earlier today.

Another Leucistic bird, this time it's an old favourite the Montrose Basin Oystercatcher which I've seen every year for at least four winters

Still Starlings coming to my garden but much more wary than in their breeding season
