The Great British Summer..

[juliejam]

Well out on my daily run this morning didnt see very much in the way of wildlife..even the ducks in the nearby lake didnt seem to happy about making a splash..Back in the garden the little Blue tits are in the trees picking up what they can ...the doves have nested in the Buddleia for the second year running , two babies again this time..the parents seem to have the bird table to themselves everybody else has stayed at home...its not just us that get fed up with the weather...

Whats going on in your garden on this rainy day ...

I've been watching a grey squirrel working it's way through the various pieces of bird feeding kit on my tree, finishing off the fat feeder , emptying the seed and munching through the old bread on the bird table !!!!
I tried making as much noise as I could (without making myself look even more insane to the neighbours) in an attempt to scare it off as I can't get out into the garden because it's just too wet but it just looked at me as if to say,' strange human' before carrying on.
Apart from that, nothing else to be seen at the mo.

a dunnock, 3 young blackbirds, at the moment all on the lawn and under the shrubs, afew blue, coal and great tits visiting the feeder but not seen them today, and the odd Greater spotted woodpecker, longtail tit, goldfinch every few days.

I'm wondering about how to release my poor moths that I caught last night........ poor things, rain is no good for them! Going to have to fashion some kind of umbrella type system in the hedge at the bottom of my garden I think!

I've just returned home to find 1 male Blackbird, 2 young Starlings and 2 robins making a meal out of the worms on the grass and also enjoying the bird seed I put out for them. We normally get quite a few GreatTits but no sign of them today.

Been raining almost non-stop here today. Just one somewhat soggy Great Tit on the bird feeders at the moment.

Just 2 Collared Doves in the garden today looking rather bedraggled.
