14 July 2024

 I had a walk in the sunshine this morning.  In July and August there are usually a lot of juvenile birds around the estate.  They have typically fledged by now and are learning to feed, often in a family party.  The noisiest family parties are definitely Green Woodpeckers.  There are lots of them around the courses at the moment.  This juvenile was one of several calling very loudly for several minutes to the left of the 3rd Blue.

When I took a detour from the 3rd tee to investigate the reason for the commotion became clear - you can see a nearby Buzzard in the background of the next picture.


Not far away, this juvenile Grey Heron was behind the 4th tee and the juvenile Blackcap was one of several to the left of the 5th Red.
