The first of June was cool and wet with more wet weather following on.

Traditionally my planting out day if the moon is right, and it was well on the right side this year. I am late with my plants and it is too cool to plant out or sow things like Spinach which require a warm soil, (what's that this year?).
Nature has its way of catching up and the plants are speeding along under glass, when the rain stops and the sun finally appears again we will have ideal growing conditions.

The cool day on the 1st June did not stop the Birds, before we were up our Great Tits had fledged, Baby Starlings were everywhere waiting for food. It was definitely Fledging day.

I don't know how many baby Great Tits were raised the noise when the parents arrived with food suggested a good few. We actually had 2 youngsters dead in the nest pushed to the side and trodden underfoot by the stronger chicks no doubt.

Also 2 un-hatched eggs. This gave me a good photo opportunity with no chance of stress or disturbance for the parents.

I saw the parents a couple of times in the morning, calling and going off to feed young but our offspring themselves were never seen. May be they will return next year to breed.
