A wet evening
Returning home tonight to a wet and dreary outlook, there wasn't much birdlife about. I expect the blue tits, great tits, blackbirds, dunnocks, tree sparrows and robins, amongst others, to be sheltering in the trees and bushes.
A lone male blackbird did post a late evening song from a nearby telegraph pole, but he appeared to be singing to an empty stadium.
Even the swallows were not about, presumably not many insects to be caught on the wing in the late wet evening. Perhaps they're brooding on eggs, fingers crossed we'll see a family learning the tricks of catching insects in mid-air later this summer.
Not much activity from the blue tit family, even when an offering of mealworms was presented. I hope the parents were taking turns in keeping the chicks warm in the cool, wet May weather.
So feeding was kept to a minimum, well any feeding that I noticed, but I hope tomorrow will bring better weather and some visible news from the blue tit family.
More tomorrow on the blue tits and the rest of the wildlife in my garden.
