I suspect that Mark's iridescent "tree sparrow" is actually a Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor ). They are common users of bluebird houses and, here in central New Jersey, I've had both the Tree Swallows and Bluebirds raise successive broods in the same box! It's delightful to have them both around.
We had a hosepipe ban imposed in mid July and it has rained nearly everyday since. The ban was lifted at the end of last week, so we are now hoping for some sunshine
...... I bought a straw hat at the tail end of the June heatwave and so far have only worn it one day!
Don't be silly Susan, keep your wellies by the door. It is absolutely pppersisting down here. We need a little face with a brolly over it.
While I do, truly, have sympathy for your house-guests, McMark, I do hope the rain continues for a looonnnnnngggggg time! We've just been rained off from pruning/shredding here in Aberdeen.
Brilliant Maggi, thanks.
