Well what an amazing day on the river.
The blackbirds nesting in the hedgerow have just hatched their chicks, they were taking a couple of used eggshells out a couple of days ago, and are feeding occasionally. The blue tits and great tits in the nestboxes are going in and out. The bats were seen flying a few days ago. Insects are proliferating and mayflies dancing over the river at night to mate.
Summer has started!
