The birds have nested, I think. I know the Blackbirds have. What they
must
be going through now! I have tipped one of the composters over to let
them
have some worms and have put out extra grain and fat and fatballs for
tits
and finches, even sparrows.
What else can I do to help them? I would like to know.

Its the same here.
I have plants all waiting to go out. Everything is so slow growing.
Swifts came and checked out their nest last week then disappeared. There is
no air Bourne food for them. House martins have not turned up at all.


Drove past (A30) one of the Reservoirs near Staines yesterday and there were
lots of Swifts feeding on the edge of the downwind bank. No doubt the flies
were being blown off the water and over the bank.
