August part 3

7th Two young robins are in the garden eating meal worms. The peace does'nt last long before one chases off the other.
8th One of the robins is back sitting on the fence bobbing up and down as if the garden is now his. The two collared doves have had a good feed from the table. A young pigeon has arrived-  it doesn't have the white patches on it's neck like mum and dad.
We have put a hedgehog box out with food inside. Only a cats nose pokes in at the entrrance.
Picked the last of my raspberries and cut the old canes down, the new canes already look strong so i hope next year's crop will be good.
12th Baby frogs jumping around in garden and resting in the undergrowth. Butterflies are feeding on the buddleia.
A dragonfly came into the conservatory.

100mm a hawk will hover over small streams from May- Sept.
