A gathering

We have so many sparrows in our garden! 
But some research has suggested that sparrows keep away bluetits and other small birds from the feeders. I can't agree with this as we get a variety of smaller birds, including long tailed tits, bluetits and great tits, and even a few goldfinches.
Heavy rain today.  Copper found the first session of the Silver training quite stressful !  His little bichon fraise friend did not come, and a big black labrador kept whining!
