Every year around early September (usually) we get a Yaffle drop in. Within 48 hours we get a great spotted drop in! It's got to the point where as soon as we hear the Yaffle call we keep watch for the GS. We assumed it was a displacement after fledging or the start of a migration movement (although they a-patently don't move far from their birthplace). This year it's been much earlier and the reverse. Last month we had the GS juvenile coming here and hanging about for 2 or 3 days ...now it's the Yaffles turn. I suspect like everything else it's been a perfect breeding Spring and they are dispersing earlier.

A lot of birds were breading early this year, I think the hot spring my have helped.

We only see GS in our garden fairly regular but plenty of Green just up the road in the downs. Not many birds at present as we give up feeding mid July start again in Oct. Wendy thinks the young should learn to find normal food in the summer.

Wendy thinks the young should learn to find normal food in the summer. I actually don't think it makes a lot of difference. We have left the feeders filled up and the birds don't seem to be bothering with them apart from the odd tit, greenfinch, robin and goldfinch. I mean literally one of each! The birds have dispersed naturally. The few remaining sparrows and blackbirds aren't bothered with bread any more. The lesser black backs have started to migrate and common gulls have returned to take the bread. The 5 squirrels are down to 3 and are leaving the feeders alone.....taking first the hazel nuts and now the walnuts. (They even took a pigeons egg yesterday and left it on the patio unbroken). The hedgehogs are leaving food we put out. So I am pretty convinced THEY know what they should be eating and going having fledged.

Unfortunately no photograph but a report which some may find interesting... I was at a friends yard last evening about sunset when I noticed, against an approaching bank of thick black cloud, an enormous skien of Geese in several very large V formations flying South, about a couple of miles away, over the Kent estuary. As they disappeared, another even larger skien followed and another and another, I didn't know so many Geese existed, they just kept coming. I watched for about 15 minutes as they flew by at a distance, their white bodies standing out against the black background of a heavy black raincloud which soon dumped a very heavy rain shower on us and we lost sight of the Geese. Presumably they have started migrating South, but where from and where might they be going? It seems early in the year for birds to be migrating and in such large numbers. Is this a harbinger of bad weather to come... Do they fly on in the dark?
