| Spadgers |
The onset of milder weather after the snows has made for less frenetic activity in the garden this week. Having said that, it got a bit busy when both the spadger families arrived at the same time at one point this morning. The family that is centred around the station tends to come in and exit from stage left, the family centred on the brambles and ivy on the embankment from stage right. At the moment they're both a bit more mobile, the one moving counterclockwise around the small field on Humphrey Park, the other moving clockwise, bumping into each other every so often at favoured feeding places like my garden. I suspect this way young, unpaired birds get to move between family groups and stop too much inbreeding.
