Spent time in the park this morning looking for Spotted Flycatchers but failed to see or hear any - what struck me this morning was a lack of young birds compared to our garden and its' boundary. In total I saw 1 young Song Thrush, 1 young Nuthatch and heard 2 familiy parties of either Blue or Great Tits. However there are several pairs of Carrion Crows and Jackdaws with young and numerous (6 at the bird feeding station!) Grey Squirrels could this be the reason - are these predators becoming too successful and is it time for a cull particularly of the squirrels?
On a positive note the gardens were looking great and the Lime and Copper Beech trees just stunning.
The avenue of Lime Trees.
Copper Beech and Lubernum.
The rose above smells absolutely gorgeous and lines a whole pathway, so as you walk along the scent goes with you.
