The message
from Janet Tweedy contains these words:

We can get up to 14 or 15 sparrows at one time in our garden. Don't seem
to have reduced in numbers, also long tailed tits and now loads of
blackbirds, a thrush r two and greenfinches since we hung one of those
bird 'tables' from the oak tree. They seem to love feeding off that
rather than from the bird feeders.

When I were lad, t'sky would darken wit sparrows harvest time, 'appen.
