On yet another cold and windy day, saw my first swift yesterday. There can be few flying insects around and so am not sure how these ariel hunters are managing to survive.
A pair of pied wagtails are building a nest in my wood store. It is not unusual for them to select such sites, but this one is particularly open and vulnerable to attack from magpies, It is a surprisingly large nest for a relatively small bird. Building appears to take place mostly in the early morning and for the rest of the day they are busy feeding. It will also cause serious issues for me and I shall not be able to use the side entrance as I customarily do.
