Due to a bad back, I hadn’t been out for ages, so was pleased to go on a very short walk around Fowlmere with Michelle. Saw a couple of Turtle Doves we had nice views of a Field Vole for several minutes.
In the garden, there are well over fifty Swifts screaming around the garden in the evening, and indeed for most of the day. Many are juvenile. Fairly sure that “ours” have fledged, though Swifts do appear to come back in to the roof at various times during the day, though not enough to be actively feeding young; I haven’t actually seen birds coming back in, just heard them when in the house, so don’t know whether they are juveniles or adults. They make quite a racket during the night with constant contact calls and the occasional scream.
The Great Tits fledged and are feeding young around the garden.
