There are still few birds visiting the garden but we have already had our first young birds.

The Blackbirds are still around but their breeding attempt has been unsuccessful - after a couple of Jays spent time watching and waiting for their chance, a Magpie simply finished everything. A Song Thrush has been seen a few times and by the first weekend of the month was feeding a fledgling in our garden.

A couple of Blue Tits and Great Tits continue to visit the feeders, and a pair of Coal Tits are very busy, dashing back and forth.

A few Greenfinches and up to 3 Goldfinches are regular visitors.

A couple of Dunnocks are seen occasionally and a juvenile is in the garden most of the day.

Two Robins continue to visit.
