In fact not many garden birds are being seen either, with the odd
blackbird and occasional feeding foray from the house sparrow clans.
The weather hasn’t been ideal for fledglings, with heavy rain and
seemingly unfriendly conditions for young birds to feed and explore their
surroundings.
What has been helped by the weather has been the flora, with the many
flowers and vegetables growing quickly.
None are ready for harvesting, but at least it’s a good start to the
summer growing season.
What the growing flora is doing is attracting plenty of bees, both
bumble and honey, to the strong nectar presence.
The nest box cameras aren’t producing the images I had hoped, with one
completely not working and the other, which has had no nesting activity,
beaming a clear video feed.
Considering the same thing happened last year and I’m beginning to
think the birds are wanting a bit of privacy after me looking into their
nesting activities for the last five years.
I’ll be looking at whether the cameras are in the right nest boxes over
the autumn, and hope next year will be more successful!
Until then I’ll be hoping the birds come back soon, after their
moulting, and start introducing their youngsters to the garden and its
benefits.
