Garden Update Monday 5th to Sunday 11th June
A Song Thrush has been singing in the back garden early most mornings, but the real villains have been the neighbourhood cats, which upset the Blackbirds, who make free with their alarm calls - at 4.30 in the morning. We do our best to dissuade cats from our garden, but we can't be out there all the time.
The House Martins appear to have occupied only two of our nest boxes this year, which is disappointing, but there are youngsters in at least one of them. There have been young Great Tits in the garden this week, but nothing can compare with the noisy young Starlings.
Garden butterflies this week have included Peacock, Brimstone, Large, Small and Green-veined Whites, Common Blue and Painted Lady.
