No birds - Just Torch Bearers

The last week has not been that condusive for birding with just a few birds of interest in the UK, all of them miles away.  So, I have concentrated on household chores and gardening over the past few days while keeping an eye on my garden feeders, which are attracting up to 10 House Sparrows at once, they are literally eating me out of house and home with the amount of seed they are getting through.

A highlight of the weekend was of course the arrival of the Olympic Flame in Warwick, with a good turnout of people to witness the event.  After seeing the flame a couple of times, we had a couple of bevvies with friends and then a walk on the Racecourse where the Skylarks were uncharecterically very quiet.
