Nature Notes

Lots of fluffy little baby birds are turning up at the feeders with their proud, solicitous parents. The starlings come in flocks of adults and juveniles- all squwaking and squabbling and jockeying for position. The baby robin doesn't have a red breast yet but you can tell its species from its attitude.

We're having gorgeous weather. I keep expecting a storm and it keeps not turning up. Maidstone got really clobbered a couple of nights back- hailstones included- but all we had was a little gentle rain and a rumble of distant thunder.

We have a lot of rabbits. They come out in the evening- but not only then- to browse the lawn. Also squirrels. The cat chased a young one into the kitchen earlier today.
