Still no update on the great tit eggs, despite the female's best incubating skills and continued stay in the nestbox.
There has been good news today on the form of the blackbird chicks from an historical nest next door, fledging.
As the parents successfully brought up two broods last year, and possibly previous years, I'm hopeful of seeing another fledging of blackbird chicks later in the summer.
The bush isn't located in somewhere people would generally look for a nest as it's fairly small, low to the ground, borders the lane and it within 10 foot of the front door.
As the parents spend a lot of time in my garden, it was no surprise that the male blackbird feeding two of the youngsters first thing this morning and this evening when I arrived home.
The frog is still occupying the pond, although I'm not sure what he/she is doing. I'm sure it's too late for mating and frogspawn, although maybe it is resting after an exhausting mating in the nearby bigger pond.
More updates on Friday, when the anticipated rain could bring a bit of colour to the garden.
