Despite the generally inclement weather, there have been several new arrivals in recent days with our pair of Bearded Tits on the Northern Trail fledging at least two young yesterday. Hopefully the Dragonfly Pool pair will do the same shortly.

I believe that there are two pair of Mute Swans wit broods now (one of seven and one two) and I have found another nest on the other side of the railway who are still sitting.

Annie has seen the first House Sparrow chicks wing shivering for parental attention outside the shop today and I am sure many more small birds will be popping out in the coming days.... especially if the weather eventaully improves.....
