Lovely Dunnock Graham. Can't seem to get close enough to them ☹️ 

The 3 young Thrush have been following Mum and Dad around the garden all day. One of them is self feeding and came quite close....

Couldn't resist this shot....

(For the uninitiated a Sprog is a nickname for the Sparrow,  and a Drog is a cross between a dragon and a dog.....according to the bloke who made the statue. 😆)

Thanks.
There were 5 thrushes on the lawn today. Parents and 3 young. We have never seen so many young birds for some years and we're thinking it was down to the reduced disturbance. But it dawned on us that for the last 10 years we have been holidaying in mainland Europe every May/June...and probably missed it all!

This virus has made us realise that being home in our garden, which excels in Springtime, is far better than visiting foreign parts. We may well switch to just September trips in future...once normality returns.

Ok Iain....how is your gull recognition?  Haven't seen Jeff on the forum for a while to ask him as well.

I've had lesser black back gulls dropping in to steal the sparrows bread. Take a look at this pair........

According to the ringing detail the one in the foreground is a lesser black back gull possibly ringed in Holland (although the smaller metal ring states Natural History Museum SW7 „).  What I want to know...is the the one behind it a yellow legged gull?  It's legs are obviously more yellow than the normal 'faded yellow' legs of a LBB gull and it's slightly larger. Of course there's a lot of variation on both counts but what made me wonder was it came on it's own and despite mingling with up to a dozen other LBBs it stayed a bit remote in behaviour and didn't leave when they all did. 

Mike my birder friend saw the photo small on the camera and is inclined to think it may be a YL gull...they are common along Norfolk coast. But it would be a first for my garden. 🥳🥳🥳. What do you think?
