It must be quite peaceful once you're away from the parking spot, but I'm sure two vehicles is ;less than the norm. Those Wood Swallows are so unusual with waht look like finch bills and feeding habits I guess of a swallow. Yes, the magpie has been there before, I agree.<br /><br />Sorry about the House Sparrows but if they are like our own the species isn't doing too well at the moment.
