Fragile Do Not Bend
Two juvenile blackbirds today, busy emptying out all the fresh compost I just topped up my pots with. They kept chasing away smaller bird which I think was a juvenile robin.

A few Goldfinch in the garden earlier. Plus a v brave coaltit who decided to risk taking seed from the feeder by the robins nest.

A couple of new garden sightings for my list. Swallows flying around and a small pale coloured bird that I think is a spotted flycatcher. Finally got a (ropey) photo of the latter so I could have a chance of IDing it.

This one has been nicely sitting out in the open on the telephone wire outside my bedroom window - but only when I don't have the camera to hand.

Over the last three weeks a work colleague and I have between us since this about six times during lunchtime walks
Not high quality - I've cropped it from the full size image, but really pleased to have sen it (I saw it quite close to before I started taking my camera with me.
We've seen it along the stretch of Whetstone Brook shown in this google maps image:

This seems very urban for a kingfisher
