Monday 15th July

Late on, yesterday evening, we heard a "thumping sort of a noise" outside and on looking out of the window there were around 60 Starlings perched up on top of the bird cage , built as a feeding station, for the wee birds.  A wee look outside and there were a further 160 + on the overhead cables leading to the electric transformer out in the garden and another 40 + down towards the cottages on the overhead cabling there as well. A quick scan though the groups, but no sign of a Rosy Starling here last night anyway...

The weather here has been hot today with a sultry kind of a heat with a warm air thrown in to try to cool things down, so possibly we could get a thundery shower to wet the ground a bit, to come in later on???
