Monday 28 May after a warm weekend, a little cooler with some light showers around – perfect mozzie weather providing food for all the baby birds: over the weekend young grackles demanding with menaces from their harassed parents, today young starlings crashing around in the shrubs and a young robin dutifully bobbing along behind its parent digging for worms in the grass.
Last year’s garden diary shows that a lot of flowers are more than a week in advance of last year’s blooms.
