An hour or so spent at the back of our House this morning saw fledglings of the following species;
Spotted Flycatcher
Nuthatch
Robin
Swallow
Col Dove
Wren
Adult Swallows dive bombing a Cat!
A Tawny Owl was calling almost continually throughout and I managed to see it briefly a couple of times.
Other observations included;
An adult Spotted Flycatcher offering food to another - courtship behaviour??
Moorhen
Raven
130+ Rooks - such a large amount being unusual for here
Linnets - a couple of Males still singing very strongly
Blackcaps collecting food
A very friendly Roe Deer allowed some photos to be taken from very close range.
If a roe deer is that "friendly" at this time of year it almost certainly means that it's got a fawn somewhere close by, so the usual precautions apply, Do not disturb and keep dogs away !!!
I saw a well fledged juvenile Blackcap this morning at Westhay Heath. I have juv Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Blackbird, House Sparrow and Starlings all visiting my garden feeders.
