Wagtails fledged ( I hope )
19th May 15 mid morning mid section
frequent showers, 7-11°c, 1001mb, SW13-W 19mph
The grey wagtail nest is empty and the parents are excitedly collecting food but I couldn't find any youngsters anywhere even though I searched for nearly an hour. The brook is very overgrown for most of its course so its not surprising there hidden away.
I thought the garden warbler had gone,having not seen or heard it since last wednesday but it's singing well again today in the usual bushes and trees,suggesting its the same bird.
Otherwise it was very quiet with not much song. The weather today is the obvious reason.
