    Before we sorted out the Hun * i saw a lovely family party of Stonechat on my local patch, the proud parents with 3 fledged young , i saw the handsome male feed one of his young.

    And also before that the local corvids were going crazy, 2 Ravens going mental as were the Jackdaws and Carrion Crows. The reason was the local female fox, she had a Jackdaw in her mouth heading to her den.

    I had a wee sit down in my back garden this morning, around about 7;30. A couple of Magpies were going absolutely crazy. Couldn't see what all the noise was about but they were worried about something. I also saw my first Swallow and Housemartins of the year.

    Well in our back garden on what is a beautifully sunny Sunday our Robin mother to be is doing well. Although she was not happy for a while when I was lifting some bags of dirt onto the back patio for the wife as I was getting too close buts she and her nest are doing well and her eggs should be hatching soon I imagine and then the fun begins as we get a ring side seat to watching her feed the chicks.
    Actually saw our duck who's nest didn't make it last week so good to see her still ok. Hopefully she finds a better spot then the side of our house next time as that was just too exposed. We also had a bunch of pretty fat looking bunny's romping around in the back garden this morning as well.

    For sure we will have a front row seat once the chicks hatch and start feeding. Looking forward to it.

    Ok so the Robin's chicks have hatched and I spent some time pre- game this morning watching them feeding. I tried to take some pics with my mobile but they didn't turn out well but will try again tomorrow.
