BIRD STATISTICS
Apparently, there's been a 10% rise in Kingfisher numbers. Can't remember where I read this but it was in a newspaper within the last fortnight. I've never seen one but hope I'm more likely to in the light of this increase. Also, I live near a river and a canal, so surely I'll encounter one sooner or later...
Also, Goldfinches weigh an incredible five grams. Which is staggering. How do they manage the journey from the Scandie countries to here, I wonder? And how do they 'touch down' in a strong wind?
