Hi birders, at a new community garden today, wondered what bird this may have been and the type of song (territorial warning etc) 🐦 Would be good to know the local population (non pigeon variety) πŸ’š @wildcardiffhour @Natures_Voice

Busy Monday at our Dusty/ACE Grow Well garden, avoiding showers/winds by having a cuppa & planning for Spring. We've also lifted the canopy of a woodland area we want to develop & temporarily planted up some heritage fruit trees. Thanks to @Keep_Wales_Tidy for the new trees 🍎🍐
