Didn't get birdwatching this weekend. The baby starlings are still in the nest, minus one I found when cutting the grass. It had obviously died just after hatching, but hadn't fallen quite where I expected it too. Found a frog too, though fortunately it was alive. A pond is not on the garden agenda for this year. Had a day off work today, which I spent in the garden. I wish I had thought and brought the camera out with me. The front garden robin came very close, but more surprisingly so did a pair of great tits. I have a beech hedge, and I let the dead leaves accumulate under it. They were turning over the leaves, and making plenty of noise! Every so often they would fly out close to where I was working. This went on for about 20 minutes.
