... on a cold, frosty morning
The sweetcorn is a still a favourite
Cheeky chapie
A blackbird likes them too
Can he reach them?
Gosh! This is a new one, definitely a wader but ...
is he a Wood Sandpiper, a Green Sandpiper, a Dunlin or something else? If you know, please tell me.
We've even had a queue for the sweetcorn!
Water rail? Dunlin have black bills, as do the sand pipers. Looks very like the illustrations of water rail to me.
