We've lots of baby birds here at Hill Farm right now. The wagtails were the first to appear with their babies and they perched on our garden hose whilst the poor parents spent all day racing about to catch insects to feed them, by evening I noticed them hopping about behind exhausted adults who were trying their best to ignore them. The baby robins must still be on the nest but the parents keep darting about on our newly edged beds to collect little 'tasty' morsels. Funniest were the swallows, Dave noticed that they kept flying into our plum tree and when we looked we noticed four babies arranged neatly on the branches. Each time a parent returned (every minute or two) four little beaks all opened. They have obviously had to be resourceful now that we no longer have telephone and electric cables for them to perch on.
