Yesterday I sat and watched the adult birds going to and fro from the nest box in the Cherry tree. They are Great Tits.

Fireworks and Clematis

I heard the cheaping of newborn baby birds in the nesting box in the Cherry tree today. I think that they are Bluetits, but will have to get closer to observe the adult birds.

Blue Tits are nesting under one of the tiles on the Boiler House roof. I saw them coming and going while watering the garden at 6pm this morning in anticipation of the great heat we are having this afternoon. Also great excitement! A newt was spotted in the pond today! They are a protected species. The tadpoles in the frog pond are growing and it won't be long before they are hopping out of the pond. Everywhere there are birds, Partridges, House Martins, Robins, Sparrows, Black Birds, Crows, Doves and Pigeons. What a wonderful place to be!
