I just had time for a quick look around the Wet Woods, Greenhouse Grounds and sheep pasture at Migrant Alley this morning, as I had other commitments today.
The brief visit was worth while though, as I confirmed Successful breeding for LINNET, when two adults were seen with a recently fledged youngster at Migrant Alley, and also TREECREEPER, an adult bird was seen taking food to a youngster up in a large oak in the Wet Woods.
I added
PEREGRINE (
65) to the months list as one flew over the Ashes Lane field, that hikes the June list up to joint 4th place, the same tally as last year and 2010.
I was lucky enough to be tolerated by the SWALLOW family as they sat on a barbed wire fence waiting to be fed, and I took lots of photo's of them, unfortunately they were on the dark side of the fence, so the images weren't quite of the quality that I had hoped for, some nice shots none the less were obtained, and will last me for a few future posts!

Gorgeous shots of the juvey swallows Warren, and great news about the breeding Linnets & Treecreepers.
I seem to just have a garden full of young Sparrows & Starlings (not that I'm complaining!) :)
Cracking Swallow set Warren.
Warren....Brilliant images of the Swallows never mind this business about...'not quite of the quality I had hoped for'....Good to see these results of successful breeders.
Sharon,
I'l take some of those sparrows :-)
Hi Pete,
I just thought the Swallow shots would be a bit better than they turned out :-)
