I've seen third broods raised successfully, and in one year fail at the last minute after a couple of cold wet weeks in late August.

Spotted a blackbird, maybe female, maybe juvenile, trying to eat what turned out to be the most meagre sliver of chewing gum off the pavement at lunchtime. Is that really a thing? Found it quite disheartening.

Hopefully a juv, learning what not to eat.

Yes. That’s what I hoped was happening. It was certainly gone when I went past the other way anyway.

Don't know what's going on this morning, have been sitting having my morning cuppa in the sunroom and there have been three birds trying to kill themselves by flying into the glass doors: one baby blue tit, one chaffinch and one young swallow. The swallow is sitting on the patio looking a bit stunned. Sadly, since we moved here I've had to collect the bodies of a number of dead birds 😕 |

NE you may need to put something on or in front of the glass to show the birds they cannot go through.

One way transparent film is the way to go I think.
