At last Rain tonight after another very warm week.Early morning walk today to Southcote Pond along the Kennet & Avon Canal. Good to be out in the Fresh Air but sadly no Wildlife to report. Not even a photograph taken!
In the Garden today Goldfinches, Blue Tits, Blackbirds, Starlings, Woodpecker and Sparrows were all being fed by Mum or Dad.
Spotted an adult Hedgehog but not happy with the state of it, very shakey and moved very slowly. Will have to keep an eye on him/her.

Jays still busy taking Monkey Nuts, wish I knew where the young are.
Weather very warm again.

Home after a few days on the River Thames in London. Garden grateful for the rain this afternoon. Can't believe how many Monkey Nuts the Jays are taking, must have young somewhere close.
Second pair of Swifts next door have laid an egg today, expecting a couple more.
Had a good walk this morning by the Canal as far as Southcote Pond. Cuckoo still singing well, good to see so many Swallows about flying under the bridges. Grey Wagtail, Heron and the Family of Canada Geese also seen.

A wet day! At last we have the water buts full again. Downside was the strong wind. No other news to report, Birds not affected by the rain/wind, Woodpecker and Jay still taking loads of Monkey Nuts. Starlings still eating at least two fat balls a day.

Another warm day.
Jay and Woodpecker very busy taking Monkey Nuts, can only assume there are young about. Not seen young in Garden yet, last year I had young Woodpeckers being fed by the Male.
Thrush in Garden all day ground feeding under the Fat Ball Feeder. Even more Starings today, flying in formation round the Garden tonight.

Weather still dry and warm, garden in dire need of rain now. Starlings still making loads of noise while being fed, over 30 Starlings on lawn yesterday lunchtime.
Worried about the Wren again, not seen her feeding for two days now. Good to see a young Thrush being fed this week. Last saw a Thrush during the Snowy period in January.
Swifts have settled again although only two eggs now following the fight last week.

Foxy back in Garden under the Summer House. Completly emptied a large plant box, looking for bulbs no doubt as only soil left.
Wren still busy feeding, so surprised still feeding, thought would have fledged by now.
Swift news not good, nest taken over by two other Swifts causing mahem. There was a 7 hour battle with at least one egg broken. All being recorded by neighbour.
