Checked the nest box first thing. None of the usual begging calls were heard. Instead, just an adult-like call answering one calling from the woods, and the sound of scratching. Watched as a juvenile repeatedly clawed its way up to the entrance hole, and eventually burst out, fluttered onto the guttering above the window, then flew off strongly into the woods. I think he must have been the last to go as the box is now silent.
A morning trip to Ayr turned up 5 Swifts swooping low over Beech Grove and single Kestrels at the Mugton Roundabout and near Loans.

Sure I heard a Blackcap singing clearly from the scrubby area behind the Glade this evening. A young Great Tit is visiting the feeders.
