A hedge sparrow and a robin were feeding side by side on crumbs on the lawn this morning. The hedge sparrow was also enjoying some sesame seeds I had thrown out. Later, it was joined by its mate and I think they may be nesting in some thick creeper that tangles its way up a tree. The hedgies have no distinguishing features apart from their pleasantly patterned plumage but the robin is distinguishable by a white spot beneath the red on its breast. Sadly, the cat caught and killed a wren the other day. I ignored him for the rest of the day and wouldn't give him lap-room but I fear he is too dim to know he had done wrong - wrong, that is, by human standards. By feline standards, he had brought home the bacon - or rather, the bird.
