There is plenty of evidence around that many birds are still in the throes of the breeding season. Just today I have seen a hen house sparrow carrying food into the roof crevice of a neighbouring house, whilst a cock blackbird was similarly taking food to a nest. Five fledgling greenfinches have been feeding in the garden over the last few days.
The flock of linnets across the field has swollen from about thirty individuals to over fifty. They appear to be feeding on the weed seeds amongst the field beans which will soon be harvested. A kestrel was perched on the wires amongst them today, it flew off at my approach appearing to be carrying a large worm.
