The blackbird who has made his home in my garden has become something of a friend. He potters about on the grass in search of worms immediately after I've finished mowing and takes a keen interest whenever the compost heap is turned over to reveal all kinds of nutritional goodies.

Number of babies born in Britain last year with at least one foreign-born parent hits shock new high
FOUR in ten babies born in Britain last year had at least one foreign-born parent, shock new figures reveal. The share of births to families with at least one parent from overseas jumped to 40.4 per cent in 2024, up from 35.1 per cent just three years earlier. 1 More than half of all babies had a foreign-born mum or dad in 17 per cent of English council areas, according to the Office for National Statistics. The capital is leading the change. The City of London topped the table at 84.4 per cent. This was followed by Brent on 83.9 per cent and Newham 82.4 per cent. Then came Harrow on 82.2 per cent, Ealing on 81.4 per cent and Westminster on 80 per cent. Migration expert Nuni Jorgensen, from Oxford University's Migration Observatory, told The Telegraph: 'The rise in births to migrant parents is largely due to more people moving to the UK. 'Since most new arrivals are young adults, more births to migrants are expected. 'Areas with a high share of births to foreign-born people tend to have larger migrant populations.' ONS data also shows 33 per cent of all births last year were to foreign-born mothers, with Indian mums making up 4.4 per cent. This was followed by Pakistan on 3.6 per cent, Nigeria 2.5 per cent and Romania 2 per cent.
