Some breeding birds were showing well in my home square today including Long-tailed Tit (a pair with a mobile brood), Moorhen (present at four sites, with a large juvenile at one and a brood being fed in the nest at another) and Starling (chicks calling from a nest in the roof of a house in Bonnyholm). A pair of Bullfinches were acting as if they had a nest nearby and two famale-type Goosanders resting on a log could have been this year's immatures. Notable flowering plants included Solomon's Seal, Honesty and Arum Lilly (presumably all naturalised). Grey Squirrel numbers were the highest for a while at eleven and a single Red Fox was carrying food in daylight. A little later on, the sound of angry Starlings made me look up to see a Sparrowhawk being escorted out of the area by a posse of seven birds.
