Led by Justin the Blackbird, the birds undertake an arduous journey to find a new home at Tumble Bank Mill; an old watermill converted into a museum. Here they meet White Wings the Barn Owl - leader of a growing band of refugees from the encroachment of civilisation. A severe winter brings new hardships for Justin and his friends; Rusty Robin, Albert and Elizabeth Sparrow, Peter and Molly Blue Tit and Ronnie and Queenie Starling. Ever mounting human activity, competition from a neighbouring flock of tree sparrows and the fear of feral cats near the mill only add to the pressures the friends must face if they are to survive.
