I don't know what you mean by summer quarters but yes, the blue
tits
are
still here and the Little Owls are back, while the rooks are
taking
their
annual holiday.

I think the blue, great and coal tits disperse into the woods in
the
vicinity during the summer season.. They really only overwinter
in
and around our garden. The sparrows, chaffinches, goldfinches and
greenfinches are here the year round.
{That is, if we continue feeding them. Pure cupboard love.
{:-((

Sensible creatures! We seem to have blue tits all year round. BUT
the
great tits we had earlier do seem to have off somewhere. I'd love
to know
why all these birds follow these patterns - the summer holiday of
the rooks
and Little Owls fascinate us. The owls go first and then come back
about
now and start that slightly wussy 'wooooo' thing at about 3pm

Ours do it at 3 am

and again as
it starts to get light. It's almost as if the rooks go 'on holiday'
and say
to the Little Owls, "Okay, we've been waking them up at 4-5ish every
morning, now it's your turn". Strange but true! AND, we have seen
Little
Owl babies up in the Cedar tree (don't know about nests) using it as
a perch
while yelling to and fro with Mum and that tree is the hub of our
rookery.
