There used to be hundreds of them on the overheads outside my house in the Autumn before their departure, but they have declined significantly over the years. I look forward to the swifts flying overhead on Summer evenings. Hearing birds singing in the treetops in the twighlight at this time of the years does give one a lift. |

Clearing out the strawberry planter on Thursday I found the soil full of vine weevil grubs, I gave up counting at 50 as I popped them into a tray for an eager femail blackbird who was grabbing them as fast as I could find them, her young will have been well fed that day. On another note this morning I heard my cockatiels making a fuss in the aviary, looked out of the window to see a Red Kite swooping low over the garden, first time I have seen one so close and unusual in a built up area. -- Corporal Jones Dunstable |
