Dawsholm Breeding Success

As at Millichen, Starlings appear to have done well this year with plenty of juveniles chattering and enjoying a bath and drink in the cattle trough.....................

The 'highland cattle fields' were ablaze with colour, the council having previously removed the cattle to allow the wildflowers to flourish...........................................

I am pleased to say that the monitoring of the nest boxes continues to bring positive results with an up-dated total of 8 of the 11 boxes proving to have been of interest to Blue Tits........................

 

 

Other birds that have bred or are obviously breeding include Blackbird, Robin, Dunnock, Wren, Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Goldcrest, Great Tit, Magpie, Carrion Crow and Jackdaw.

Other wildlife included a Roe Deer, a few Grey Squirrels, a Red Fox (being chased by a dog), Small Tortoiseshell and 'white' butterflies.
