Cleaning out my son's house prior to his arrival I noticed bird droppings behind the glass of his gas fireplace. Closer investigation showed the dessicated corpse of a female Black Redstart lying amongst the imitation logs. The bird had obviously descended the flue and could not find its way back out. A horrible end!
The chimney will have to be fitted with a grill as soon as possible as the local population of Black Redstarts is quite numerous and they are always found on the buildings.
Not much esle to report today except a movement of Starlings no doubt pushed south by harsher conditions to the north.
