There were two birds in the garden this morning, I think building a nest in the hedge, they kept disappearing into a hole. Never seem them before and can't find my bird book to identify them. It was early this morning so bear with me, I think they were grey with white breasts and a black stripe around the backs of their necks, really nice clear markings.

Thanks Nutcutlet. I will look into that. We had lots of pulmonaria in our last garden - should have brought some with me!

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I've narcissi coming into flower, not many corcus though but daffs and tulips are showing foilage, bee's usually follow.
Saw my first big bumble-type bees outside today
Oh, and the bullfinches are back - don't know where they go, but they are never around in winter
Woodpecker saw and heard his lovely rat ta tattt
The bullfinches are back to peck at all those lovely fat buds developing on the fruit trees Chicky - bless their little cotton wing tips

Does anyone know what they were?
