Nothing new but a pleasant day's birdin
8th june 15 morning mid section
sunny, 10-13°c, 1036mb, NW 12 - NNW 9mph,
Not much new to report just plenty of breeding behaviour.Starting with our water birds, Mallards always confuse me about this time of year,keeping track of the various broods can be a nightmare, anyway, the Wetland 3 are still present, the Wetland 9 are also still intact and at noon today were near the Double Pennant, also in that area is a female with 3 well grown ( c 6 week old ) juveniles,(maybe the brood of 11 from 26 April,the 1st young of this year ) and finally a female with 1 chick c3wks old.( probably the one seen on/off by Meccano Br). The blackcap family from last weekend still seem to be fed by parents and the whitethroat pair at Graiseley Culvert still taking food to youngsters.
