This behaviour has obviously worked because the camera nestbox now
has one small egg in it.
I suspect the reason why one of the parent birds isn’t there, is
because of the summer heat we’re experiencing.
I’ll now be keeping an eye on the camera, while it still works, to
see if any progress on one egg takes place – in other words more laying of
eggs.
The house sparrow nestbox still has birds around it, but I’m not
sure if a nest, eggs, or even chicks are in existence there – again I’ll keep
an eye on the situation.
No other bird news to report, apart from the usual evening
aerobatic displays by the swallows and swifts, the latter being the small
number of the two.
The bees and butterflies are enjoying the nectar harvest, and with
more and more flowers opening up the garden is awash with colour and all the
nectar-loving insects.
Fingers crossed for more egg-citing news in the next post, along
with a return of the usual garden bird suspects.
