Scarce breeder locally



Spotted Flycatcher

Dodging showers yesterday I was delighted to see a Spotted Flycatcher in the lane by my house.  It is the second year running that a pair seems to be nesting here.  This species is getting very scarce here nowadays and the bird by my house was the first I have seen in Carmarthenshire this year.



Young Buzzard

The weather here is absolutely diabolical for June.  It is wet almost every day and cold too.  We have resorted to lighting the wood burning stove quite a bit lately.  It is a wonder that there any young birds surviving and I have seen young Buzzards in the nest looking very bedraggled and miserable.

Where is summer?
