My grandson Leon came for a visit the other day and had a high old time sorting out Ruff plumages.
We also had a bit of a chat about the falling population of House Sparrows and the boom in Sparrowhawks, his theory that the Sparrowhawks have eaten all the Sparrows has some legitimacy I'm sure.
Leon's usual calm countenence was somewhat shattered by the news that he wouldn't be old enough to accompany us to Thailand later this year to look for Spoon-billed Sandpipers.
