Lochvane Swallows about to leave the nest on 20th July , far better than last year when they were still in the nest in September (after a number of nest building disasters). As last year the nest was built by 3 adults, also 3 feeding the young and adults were still bringing food to the (empty) nest on July 25th.
Other successes this year were first garden breeding Bullfinch, Stonechat and 2 pairs of Song Thrush. Sparrow Hawk visited yesterday, but too late to enjoy most of the fledglings!
