Very much looks like it. It was certainly on its own and was fossicking
about at the base of a laurel hedge. I think that may well be it and now
I'm going to have to go and see if I can see it again! I'll throw some
seed out where I first spotted it. Thank you, Donna.
Hmmm.. Fossicking. I've just learned a new word.
Thanks Sacha!

;-) I have no idea of its origins or even if it's a 'real' word but it
does
describe such an action perfectly.
