Agree with you on the tea but I’m neither a sparrow or a dunnock. I’m the solitary jay that flies in when no one is watching, scoops up a tasty titbit and flies off to eat it in peace and quiet.
I think I'd be a sparrow with the occasional delusion of being a Dunnock. I'm afraid my knowledge of the different species of birds is equal to my knowledge of different types of cars - woeful. Regarding making tea, I just chuck a teabag in the cup so it's always milk second (thank goodness you didn't include the Scon(e) debate...)
Not sure what we are, we do though have a single Dunnock that visits on occasions. The Sparrows (which used to come in reasonable numbers) appear as often as snow in Redland. We love the Blackcap who sometimes stays for a very harty meal. Who doesn’t like someone that tacks the trouble of appearing to put on some headgear before popping over.
Ooh, now that’s interesting. I had a pair of black caps (male and female, very old fashioned) in my garden once… but only once😞 obviously you are in a nicer part of the neighbourhood..
Yes we are, as sometimes we have deliveries of mince pies. Talking which, there is a rumour of a homemade marmalade cake being available for sampling on Wednesday afternoon?
I find it really hard not to comment on this column‘s title.
And to answer your question - you’re a sparrow. Not for the football or any of those things. Just because they are a very social and family loving bunch.
Upmarket sparrow - you do make me smile. Does that make a raven an upmarket crow? 😛
or an overweight one? Hmm… good question

Nice title, by the way, haha

I'd like to be a Dunnock but I have a sneaky suspicion that I'd fall into the Sparrow brigade!
