Had a good morning outing in a narrow but long strip of green in Tolworth called Hogsmill Local Nature Reserve. Managed a few interesting scenes which I’ll share in the week ahead. Starting with this House Sparrow in dogwood. There were a few dozen of these birds around, but it still took about ten minutes to wait until one settled on the outer branches.
