After Bulgaria where it seemed there was a red backed shrike on top of every bush,it is back to the realisation that british birds have diminished so much in forty years, it is really hard work to  see smaller song birds in any numbers now.However I have been out and about seeking out birds,butterflies and other interesting things for your entertainment.
