    One lonesome Sparrow, chomping on the feeder, and a very frustrated MrBurd, trying to get the house painted .

    I can hear lots of birdies around though, however I suspect they're all hiding in the trees close by...

    Ah, let's see.... goldfinches, greenfinches, robins, blackbird, odd sparrow, blue tits.... oh, yes and I can see that blasted cat from next door hiding in the undergrowth. (where's my water pistol?)

    Just now? - Mother and father blackbird and two offspring and a couple of sparrows. There are an undisclosed number of sparrow hatchlings under the roof tiles. The bird bath attracts the birds and they empty it every day having baths.
