Evil sounding f*ckers, regularly have up to a dozen wheeling around screeching away like the Nazgul's rides from LOTR, quite creepy.

Perfect British birds then.

Funnily enough I regularly see around 12 - 16 of them wheeling around. You in South Oxfordshire too?

They don't have a particularly beautiful "song" I must admit!

Nah, seriously, its a Robin for me.

Oddly, I bought the dvd of Mrs Miniver the other week.

I think, as the most persecuted bird in Britain, it has to be the hen harrier.

Seems damned unfair - We should cherish a bird that can take off vertically _and_ lay eggs!
