Last year's position in brackets

We have plenty of house sparrows that visit the bird table in our garden. Then the starlings arrive like a motorbike gang, kicking the food about and generally making a mess. Booo!

Then, when nobody's looking (other birds, I mean), a robin sometimes appears and makes us feel all Christmassy...lol
