Update Update!

I've just come back from taking the dog down the coombe to the creek and back (that mistle thrush was still singing) and looked out of the window to see my first great tit on the peanuts, and a wood pigeon scoffing this morning's crumb ration. Plus half a dozen sparrows, of course. There was a bang which probably wasn't a gunshot, and the entire bird population vanished from sight...
