Sitting in the garden watching the greenfinches feeding their fledgling. It is a noisy, persistent bugger š

Silent her now apart from the persistent scream of a small party of swift

For some reason we've had loads of swifts over the garden in the last few days, far more than a month or so ago.

Many have started moving south. Others will probably be feeding up ready

After yesterday's help (thanks!), I caught some of our young starling visitors today.
Having a bit of a spat at the (new) fat ball feeder. This one has a smaller grid, so the jackdaws and ravens, so far, don't empty it in 2 mins.
And when things had clmed down a bit, at the 'pool'

I just noticed lots of cherry stones in one of my birdbaths.
The birds I hear mostly when out and about at the moment are chiffchaffs.

Starlings are the species that monopolise my bird feeder too. These photos are from a few weeks ago but not much has changed since then.
I find it interesting that the starlings seem to fight amongst themselves but ignore other species who come to my feeder. Odd.

I've checked back and think it must've been a female kestrel, which I wondered about at the time. It wasn't flying like a kestrel usually does around that particular area.

Worth thinking about sparrowhawk if you see soaring small - medium raptors Red. Female is a decent size. King tail and kind of rounded wings
