For some reason, visibly and audibly full of small birds, in a way that our own garden at home never is. Including lots of starlings and lots of small brown birds, probably sparrows.
Starlings were sat all over the too of the rather battered small tree, more or less in the very middle of this snap, just about visible if you click to enlarge. Starlings which let us get close enough to see their vivid colours, colours which made them a favourite with me in my bird spotting for badge days in the cubs, near sixty years ago now. But perhaps that was no more than ease of identification, rather than any aesthetic or avian appreciation.
Talking to a young woman who happened to be exercising her dog there gave no solution, beyond her thinking that quite a few of the residents were into putting food out for them.
Not a bad looking block of flats at all. Entirely suitable, should the temptation to live by the seaside ever get too much for us.
