I seem to have acquired a pied wagtail as a temporary garden inhabitant. He (or more likely she) is on the front lawn next to the roundabout, frequently nipping out into the road to collect a dazed insect. Presumably there is a nest near by but I haven't found it yet.
In the hedge at the back of the house we have a song thrush nesting. I haven't seen any young ones yet but the adult is flying backwards and forwards with beakfuls of grubs. I saw a mistle thrush at St Peters the other week so Balsall Common seems to be bucking the national trend in terms of thrush numbers.
