After the quiet spell in late May, bird numbers have picked up considerably bolstered by the new arrival of juveniles. The bird feeders are once again a hive of activity and are being emptied at quite a rate. Over the weekend, many juvenile blue, great and coal tits were seen, along with my first juvenile robin and great-spotted woodpecker of the year. Young greenfinches and chaffinches are also much in evidence. Two female blackbirds are gathering nest material again, presumably for second broods, whilst my two fledgling tawny owls can still be heard 'squeaking' in the adjacent wood.
This morning, June 22nd, a female blackcap flew through the garden, which is an interesting sighting, as there are no singing males on territory in the vacinity.
