The small brook that almost borders the garden, had signs of life last
summer with a small shoal of small fish.
It was presumed that they would go or not survive, but it appears this
is not the case. And the presence of these small fish has not gone unnoticed!
The amazing sight of a kingfisher perched on a branch of a small tree
overhanging the brook has been brilliant.
I don’t expect it to be a common visitor or even see it again, but just
the one glimpse is enough.
Of course spring is not in ‘full bloom’ yet and I hope this is the
reason why birds are not spending time in the nest boxes. It is unusual though
that not one bird has spent a night in either nest box.
Time will tell, but with an Easter weekend of strong wind and heavy
rain, I don’t expect things to change much as we approach April.
And April should herald the arrival of my favourite bird – the swallow.
