Plants and animals of Pointfield

An informal survey of the plant and animal life living in or visiting the grounds of Pointfield, Kelso since 2015   

Birds 

House sparrow

Passer domesticus

An uncommon visitor, usually a single individual, to the bird feeders. Yet a large flock of sparrows nest in the dense hedge 300 m up Hermitage Lane. Male with grey cap to head and white cheek lacking a black spot distinguish it from the tree sparrow.
