Early morning

On Monday 22nd June, at 6.20am a fine Treecreeper crept up the main trunk of our middle tree at the back of the garden. Only the second ever garden record and lockdown species no.57. Meanwhile the Whitethroat was still singing just over the fence on a small strip of grass and bushes mercifully spared for now by the builders. The fine male Whitethroat even flew to the top of our Copper Beech tree and started singing reprising its former favoured song perch.
