Yesterday, we saw our first swallow going north over Fairfield, and today 5 or 6 swallows flew round our house.
In the Orchard we saw a pair of treecreepers,
as well as a pair of tree sparrows putting nesting material into O1 (Orchard 1 box).
This is an important development for Fairfield as this is a target bird that we have been trying to attract to the area.
In West Field we saw further evidence of nesting behaviour on the part of jackdaws.
Good news indeed about the tree sparrows. Well spotted Ian! Photo clearly shows distinguishing features. Thought they didn’t like public locations….
