Sunday 2nd August

A mixed sort of a day over here today with the weather, certainly not much sun to be seen, not typical for time of year, I hasten to add. Not much on the bird front today, needless to say not much seen on the bird front. This morning, when I was down close to the pond, there was a young dead Stoat nearby, with the 2 Hooded Crows not far away, so I wonder whether the Hoodies have been taking the young Pheasant chicks. After lunch, Margaret was down there and came across another freshly killed young Stoat, it was still warm to the touch, so again possibly another one for the Hoodies!
