Mild,light overcast, light SW.
On average at New Hythe,the first few Nightingales can be expected by April 4th and the bulk of the population by the 14th.This year however,I did not record my first birds until this morning,when they appeared on mass,twelve in all.The predominant northerly winds up until recently holding them up further south.
This morning,I also saw my first Reed Warbler and Common Whitethroat.
BLOODY CATS
Over the past few days,the wife and I have been watching a pair of Blackbirds busy feeding small young in our garden.The nest is only four feet away from a Bobin`s nest,also with young.Every now and again we had been chasing a cat away.This evening we noticed the Blackbirds had stopped taken food to the nest.I walked up to the nest to see what had happened and found the female dead on the ground with feathers all around.Will the Robins be next.
Why people have cats,I will never know.All they do is roam around in others peoples gardens crapping and killing.

Hello Alan, As a child I loved domesticated cats but as I grew up my opinion changed I now dislike them intensley. In fact I do more than shoo them off when they appear in my garden. Lovely photo's. Mike.
