The wonderful sound of bird song fills the skies around Park Hall, even the Nightingale can be heard at night singing his glorious composition in the hope he will attract a passing new mate.
At the very top of the gardens a pair of Mistletoe Thrushes are busy all day long searching for food for their young have already fledged from the nest and in competition the Blackbirds too are busy seeking out worms for they have four hungry chicks in the garden shed to feed. With the ground so hard we have been watering patches of lawn around the gardens to help them in their search for worms and grubs.
A pair of Wren chose this year to make their nest inside one of the watering hose systems along the woodland walk resulting in this being out of action until such times their young have fledged their unusual nest. Meanwhile friendly robins have made their nest in the ivy outside The Old Stables Cottage where they can be seen flying in & out of the courtyard with their beaks filled with insects. All four boxes outside the garden suites are in use with pretty little Blue Tits in residence.
Under the eaves of Park Hall the Housemartins, which arrived very early this year after their incredible migration from Africa, are very busy rebuilding their homes and can be heard chattering to each other as they go about their work!
Love Park Hall ♥
