As usual the blog doesn't register comments.

A report of some twenty odd Tree Sparrows feeding near Shifford Church on the blog today brought the following response from me.                                                                                                               The area mentioned is part of the Oxford Ornithological Society Tree Sparrow Project and is fed by our Chairman Alan Larkman he along with other dedicated supporters of the project have spent many years doing the best we can for this threatened small farmland bird and have taken this project from a few Oxfordshire stragglers to what we believe is a fairly stable population. We have a couple of sites where at the end of the breeding season there can be as many as 1,000 birds on site .                                   I have blogged this, as the comments section on the blog seems unable to cope with comments.                The Oxon Feather.
