Ha. Yes, many years ago I became enamored of the abbreviations scientific sorts did when identifying things. I had quite a list, of which I remember very few, some of which applied to people, but the bird one from ornithologists was "lgb." Little grey bird, applied to those little things that flit around in the shrubbery that you can never get a good look at.
English House Sparrows, if I'm not mistaken. Easy to ignore but really quite wonderful. They can fly - which is something we can't do!
ReplyDeleteWe have these around also, and I am always glad to see them.
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be such social creatures gathering in little herds at this time of year. They are the most common birds we have here too.
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty little birds.
ReplyDeleteCute! Have a good weekend.
