Weather
The weather this month has continued to be a bit up and down with the odd fall of hail stones and some heavy downpours but most days fairly dry if – almost always – a bit windy. Towards the middle of the month we got some more heavy rain and this continued intermittently until later in the month. Towards the end of the month we got a bit of a mini heat wave though we were on holiday at the time.
Garden
Some Swifts occasionally seen over the garden. The occasional sighting on the feeders of a single new Goldfinch; otherwise there are usually four Goldfinch adults each day and a male and a female Chaffinch continue to attend the feeders. Blackbirds, Collared Doves and Woodpigeons all on the ground. Dunnocks regularly scuttling around but still no Robin. I am sure our local Robin must have come to a bad end because I don’t think our garden has ever been so Robin free.
