Now June is here I don't really expect to add any new species for the year, but you never can tell ! The best June total was back in 2005, when I recorded 64 species, so that will be my target this month, the average june species total is 62 - so todays total of 48 is a good start, especially as I heard the WILLOW WARBLERS singing, a species not recorded in june before.
I went and checked all the nest boxes as well this morning, and all but one box, containing 11 ''ready to go'' blue tits, had fledged all their young, a good year for them.
This LITTLE OWL posed for just one pic, then it was off!

Your blue tits are doing better than mine, just not sure what is going on. They seem to be feeding something but the quietest chicks i've ever (not) heard. Cheers, John
Fingers crossed for a great June Warren....
Welldone with the Little Owl Warren. I think the young in my only used nestbox this year have unfortunately died, that would be 2 years in a row. I wonder what went wrong.
Josh- Scan the fence posts and dead tree branch's on a sunny evening, once you find one they are generally faithful to the post/branch
Simon,
Are you sure they havn't fledged? should be plenty of food about in this wet weather.
Hi Warren
Like your Little Owl shot, keep up the good work
Dave Jordan
Cheers Dave,
I will do just that!
