Wow that's great D2!
Based on the regular feeder visitors and their frequent return to the same place I've got nesting blue tits, robins, great tits and coal tits.

Fragile Do Not Bend
I know I have at least one great tit and one blue tit nest under the eaves. The great tit chicks are making quite a racket.

I've got a couple of good photos of the starling fledglings screaming their heads off at their parents. I find it comical that they will virtually sit on the food but still demand to be fed.

I heard my first cuckoo of the year today, also saw swallows, swifts and buzzards flying around and some geese with their goslings.

Fantastic selection D2 and all the other breeding obs! You've beaten me to a Cuckoo alpenrose and I'd put money on not hearing now. Still plenty of singers of the ordinary kind on my early morning runs but nothing special.

Close views of a pair of common sandpiper today at a local reservoir but even better a sky seemingly full of singing skylark

The only word I can think of is "wow" for your Lesser Spotted Woodpecker idio! The rest of your obs are more than good too. Matched alpenrose's Grey Wagtail this morning. No Reed Warblers so fat this year in what were previously regular haunts..I think the Cetti's have sung too loudly-yeah two singing again as usual today. Couple of Whitethroats, Goldcrest singing, Bullfinch and one unidentified Fetch runner!

A mayfly on our church beck. Perfect timing because mayfly is a misnomer nowadays and the peak of their season is often the first week of June
