18th May - A showery day, dull at times, light SW, 11C

Not as wet as forecast, but 'on-off' showers made it a poor day for observing.

A Wren has again used an old Swallows nest to raise it's brood which it is now busy feeding, spotted once with a bill full of insects despite the rain.  As indeed are the Pied Wagtails, it is good to see them bringing food regularly, so hopefully soon their young will leave the nest.
In the last few days Swallows have been prospecting in two sheds at the farm, flying in, sitting on the doors and much song from within, so hopefully they will decide to nest there, I'll keep an eye on them.
