LBJ's

LBJ comes from the birding world. It stands for Little Brown Jobs and refers to the many small brown coloured birds that you often see flitting through branches or feeding under your bird table. Your expert birder would know a chifchaf from a willow warbler, but to me they both look the same. Small. Brown, with a pointy beak. I actually know how to tell the difference between the two on their call. The chifchaf goes chif-chaf, chif-chaf and the willow warbler doesn't. That's that sorted then.
At this time LBJ's are in abundance. Most baby birds are small and brown so they can hide more easily from predators and the adult birds are often tatty looking because they've spent all their time and energy feeding the young ones.
But I never worry if I can't identify a bird. It doesn't stop it being fascinating to watch them. Whether they are pulling seeds out of seed heads or picking insects out of the hedgerows, don't worry about their names just marvel at their antics.
