that birds love, especially young ones.
Around 6pm we turn our sun-loungers and glasses of wine towards the acacias just behind us to watch the groups of young birds work their way along through these trees before turning round and working their way back again.
They are mostly tree creepers, great tits, blue tits and acrobatic long-tailed tits. As last year, not as many as there were before the exceptionally cold spell here two winters ago. We feel certain the drop in bird numbers stems from that, as it's only the year-round birds that are down. Migratory birds are as numerous as ever - never seen as many bee-eaters as this summer.
