Lots of birds in the garden today. Seems like most have now fledged a second clutch. More young robins, dunnocks, great tits and long tailed tits.
Jill put out some peanuts for the doves today and everyone seemed to take advantage of the feast.































....including the wee woodmouse thats lived there for quite a while. He came out to grab a peanut every-so-often and stash them somewhere for later.































I took treakle a walk down to the railway this morning. The spotted flycatchers are back down there. They hadnt arrived back from migration the last time I visited that area. Thats a new tick for 2007. I didnt see the local little owl but there was a mobbing party going on. 2 jays, 6 mistle thrushes, a GS woodpecker and some nuthatches were all mobbing something but I couldnt see what. Probably a sparrowhawk or tawny owl, they dont usually see little owls or kestrels as a threat.
