Garden full of youngsters at the moment: Coal Tits, Great Tits, Blue Tits and Goldfinch.
Juv Chiffchaff in the garden yesterday and Swifts over on the weekend which aren't common here. Saw the Sparrowhawk a week ago with what appeared to be a House Martin.

almost exactly 6 years since my Last Kestrel garden sighting. Just had one over carrying prey. As expected pretty quiet apart from the residents.
Juv Bullfinch in the garden this morning.
Still good numbers of common birds here- Jay, Nuthatch, Siskin, and Goldcrest and Treecreeper in the conifers. Family of four Bullfinch down the lane as well.

and it was very early. I took this to be a young male visiting the garden this morning given he was a dwt (small).

Not had the feeders out for a few months but decided to fill one up a few days ago. Pair of Nuthatch have just arrived and the first for nearly two years. Last brood of Blackbirds are now active on the lawn and dozens of Blue, Great, Coal Tits.
Been bit quiet on my feeders it be full of birds soon.
Greenfinches appear to be having a good year here. Gone from having 1-2 birds sporadically to 15-20 birds last weekend.

we had 11 long tailed tits in the garden a few days back, it was their wonderful chittering that first grabbed my attenion, this is the first I have seen of them since March, and today we had a brief visit from the nuthatch, this is the first I have seen of the nuthatch in our garden since the spring.

Siskin numbers on the rise again. 80+ yesterday. Loads of 1st years. Goldfinches ignoring the Niger and going the Sunflower hearts instead. Sporadic vsits fron 4 Redpolls. Unusual visitor on the 28th Aug late aftrenoon. A Merlin having a go at the Siskins. Have not seen it again. Seems to have been a productive year for some species. The Sparrowhawks visit every 2 or three days. Not seen them taking anything for some time now. The local Red Kites fly over usually between 17:00 and 17:30 hrs. All in all, it's been quite a good birding summer in the garden.

thought I had a large mixed flock arrive in the garden, but on closer inspection everyone was a Blue Tit, estimate over 100 birds. Easily the largest flock of Blue Tits I have seen, never mind in the garden.
Beaten my best total by about 85 Dave!!

Enjoyed watching a Chiffchaff in the garden this afternoon. A Red Kite also flew over and there's good numbers of Coal Tits at the moment as well. As the afternoon drew into the evening a few bats made an appearance.
