Well the shocking news here is that Scotland has had blue skies and sunshine for 5 consecutive days- so it looks as if we will have a record summer this year providing the blue skies and sunshine continue tomorrow making it 6 consecutive days, we could be in for an Indian summer and have 7 whole days of sunshine. We all like a bath or shower on hot days, especially if we have been working hard lazing in the sun, supping the cooled drinks and eating salads or whatever you like – birds are no different. I am undertaking a new task with the help of some friends. The task? Redesign the garden to provide for the birds etc. Away with the roses, bring on the red berry, blackberry bushes etc. I made a start yesterday I bought a new water feature for the garden a nice little fountain effect – Azure Fountain. Water spills from top bowl to middle then bottom then circulates to the top again. Today the Juvenile Starlings discovered this water feature and the short video shows the result of that discovery.

I hope you enjoyed the frantic squabbles of the young birds, my partner Susan did.
