No sign of a second brood with me although the first was early compared to last year. The survival rate seems good as there are still plenty coming along with the adults.

It looks like they had just fledged. A very worn out looking parent in attendance. :)

By jove, I think you've got it.....(still feeling musical). Makes sense that the second brood might be a bit more rushed to fit in with the cycle :bike: errrm....natures cycle that is......

My starlings have vanished. Not seen any in the garden for days and days.
