Each evening in the field behind the house, a congregation of magpies come together. I have counted as many as twenty five individual birds. As darkness falls, they fly into the bordering hawthorn hedge to spend the night. In the morning they fly down to the field prior to dispersing for the day.
Up to twelve goldfinches regularly feed on the shelled sunflowers in my feeders and there have been numerous tits joining them. Occasionally, they are scattered by the onrush of a sparrow hawk.
