Things are noticeably quieter locally, with many species having all but ceased singing. However broods of young are proving quite noisy including Wrens, Blue Tits and Long-tailed Tits (including an adult feeding a fledged juvenile). Some birds still have broods in the nest and two Blackbirds carrying food were obviously in this category. Interestingly, the local Brambles have begun to bloom since the weekend - exactly the same timing as the flowering taking place 400 miles south of here in Chris Packham's New Forest.

"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".
