Update - sibling's return
Late in the afternoon on 2 April 2016 a familiar bird started running towards the garden door when it saw us.
Sibling had returned, after nearly 2 years of absence. The memory these birds have is truly amazing.
Its coat still has immature colouring, and when it run towards me I could not help but put a few sunflower seeds out and take a video of the event.
