Early June saw many species with newly-fledged young, causing many aaaaahhh! exclamations amongst my customers as doting parent birds were seen dutifully feeding their wing-quivering offspring.
Though the weather has still been a little changeable, the days have now lengthened to around 20 hours of available birding time, for those with the stamina to attempt it!
The combination of sun and rain has given a very lush look to vegetation and inspired the wild flowers to bloom, and accordingly, more butterflies are now being seen regularly.
Early June highlights included:
Seeing one of our local Ospreys delivering a good-sized trout to the nest.
A Peregrine Falcon hunting waders over a riverside field.
7 Buzzards circling together using the same thermal in a beautiful local glen.
Regular sightings of Cuckoos, often being chased away by Meadow Pipits.
