Just as I thought. I checked with my Birdweather app and even though there was only one White-throated Sparrow there were more calls detected than the 20+ House Sparrows combined.

The single White-throated that stayed around has really made himself at home with the 20+ House Sparrows. He's very hard to spot but is probably the most vocal bird in the wildlife gardens. "Mr Peabody" on and off all day.

3 Red-tailed Hawks in the sky above my house today. The third isn't an interloper... but 99% sure that it's junior (with no red tail yet) hanging out with mum and dad. I don't see junior around very often.

You would think that the rest of Europe would have more outrage and understanding with what is happening in Ukraine. Even growing up in post WW2 UK the generational memory is still very present. It seems many Europeans have forgotten the devastation of war.
While passenger planes fly across the skies over Europe, in Ukraine the skies are filled with Russian missiles and drones. One continent, but two different realities.

A thirsty Goldfinch on a cold morning. After knocking the ice off... I filled the dish with very warm water. The birds love it.

It's very uncommon to see both of the local Red-tailed Hawks hunting in tandem. One of them usually hunts while the other watches from a short distance away.
They definitely had a strategy - one would flush while the other lingered higher.

They're not as prolific at hunting birds as the Cooper's Hawk... but the determination of the Red-tailed Hawks does pay off eventually.

I followed the Cooper's Hawk to the end of the street. Then it flew back towards my house. I saw the Pigeons up and about... but it was the resident pair of Red-tailed Hawks in action putting them into a bit of a panic.
