Our baby Blue tits have now definitely fledged. One tried to land on my shoulder while I was hanging out the washing. Another on the patio calling for mum.

I think we have blue tit fledglings in our shrubs as there's a squeaking going on.
Blackbird is singing.
Female bkbird collecting live meal worms.
Wasps round the apples - already!
Frogs out and about - a sure sign of rain  ::) - counted 16 in various sizes and colours on the pond edges

Have picked the first vase of flowers: sweet Williams and 3 types of daisy from the garden  :)  8)

Blue tit nest box definitely empty.  One chick on the patio table this morning but no sign of any now.

Swifts shriek whilst flying jaypo and rarely hit the ground.  Swallows have very long tails.  I've seen 1 of the later so far  :-\

Blue-tits were sitting beside me waiting to be fed earlier ......... watered the onions which have gone to seed and are covered with bumble bees; watered the broad bean bed.  Topped up the ponds which moved a few frogs  ;D
