Berwick is full of birds. One of my favourites is the sparrow. I love it when hedgerows are filled with a large gathering of sparrows. They chatter loudly and dart about bushes manically and they are always unpredictable. There is also something rather jolly and happy about their socializing. In Berwick, the locals call them ‘spuggies' which seems to capture their character. When I composed ‘Spuggies’ I had the intention of putting the music to a video of busy spuggies.
