3 blackbirds nests, all fledged 10 (4,3,3) infants, all nests in the front garden shrubs.
7 great tits from our box . At least 30 fledgling house sparrow eating my broccoli!! Half a dozen starling young bullying the parent birds off the fat balls...and everything else! A pair of robin young looking after themselves and few supplementary feeds from the redbreast!


Sparrowhawk returned, one blackbird fledgling less, well just the one witnessed!!
