Several of the drake Mallards on the river are now well into their eclipse moult and are looking decidedly tatty. A pair of Blue Tits (possibly those from the nestbox on the back wall) brought their four fledgelings to the garden feeders and fed them with pieces of sunflower heart. Tonight there was some much-needed rain. I am sure the Blackbirds and Song Thrushes will have an easier time now.

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
