    I think a wren has just started nesting in a rambling rose next door. So amazing to hear the deafening song filling the morning. But I don't think it will be happy, with all the party people, bbqs and army of cats. It's up against a DJ's  studio shed. I'm really hoping the thorns will put off the cats and the hunters won't scare off the bird from the nest. I've never seen or heard wrens in the garden before. Everything is crossed that she stays. Robins and wrens can nest so low down it's a bit heart stopping. For them and me.

    It's looking like my wren is settling in for the duration, which is entirely thrilling.

    You will have to be vigilant to see it  they are quick @Fire 😁 
    Still have lots of song, but no sign of nesting here.

    No photo as yet - but the resident pair of blackbirds now have a fledgling that migrates between by / neighbour's garden. The frantic parents are torn between feeding the perky youngster & chasing numerous jackdaws out of the vicinity!! Never a dull moment hereabouts!!

    Dunnock semaphore is so funny. I love watching them hopping about the garden flapping away.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
