Not a lot has changed on the patch since my last post except for broods of plenty of species. It seems to have been a good time for the local breeders but the only new species added to the list since 13th May has been a Lapwing(92) which was seen on 17th.
Common Terns have put in an appearance on many occasions with a run of daily sightings from 25th - 29th May. On 28th May a Red Kite flew over the house(my fourth of the year and the second garden sighting).
The only other noteworthy species in May were a pair of Egyptian Geese and a few Hobby sightings.
The Nightingale was still singing down at Stonebridge on 5th June, so I presume it must have found a mate.
On the same evening it was great to see 35 Swifts over the house. House Martins still seem to be a very uncommon sighting worryingly.
The nest of Nuthatches that were in an oak on the dam end fledged on the first of June but I got a shot of an adult at the nest hole.

A second brood of Grey Wagtails were seen on 13th June.

Turtle Doves have also been hard to find but I was pleased to find two calling birds in Haymans Hill on the 20th.

The following day 2 Cuckoos were calling down by the lake.Could be last I hear this year!

I've added some insect photos which I have taken recently.

This interesting micro moth (3mm) was on the lavender in the garden. Has anyone got any ideas what it is?
