They are my favourite birds!
I had never seen any round here before, then I suddenly spotted some in a tree across the road when I was walking down East Dulwich Grove.
I got talking to a passer by as I was gawking at them, and she said they were often around there.
I think she said that a man in a nearby flat fed them, but I may have misremembered that.
A cat with a bell comes and sits very still next to my bird feeders. Once he is there, you can't hear the bell.
I don't know whether the birds can still sense that he is there, as I chase him away whenever I see him. I get loads of other cats without bells, who also sit very still waiting for birds 😢
I do like cats, but there is definitely an issue with them and birds. But it's nature, I suppose.
The only bird I've definitely seen killed in my garden was a starling, carried off howling piteously by a bird of prey.
I've never seen a starling in the garden since. I used to get loads, years ago.
