Garden goodies

Not being very well following a tooth extraction a few weeks ago, I have confined my activities to work and the garden recently, except for an excursion out to the marvellous Blyth's Reed Warbler at Southwold. On Sunday 14th June afternoon/ evening, the Whitethroat was heard 4X afternoon/ evening despite the ongoing building work. A Chiff- Chaff was calling too. Disappointing to see big sewage pipes being put in with no protection for small animals falling in and getting trapped. On Tuesday 16th June, at 7am, I heard the sadly rare sound locally of the wonderful chirruping of a Sparrow heard and a female House Sparrow was seen perched on next door's (no.7) roof, it flew over the road. Only the 4th garden record ever and the second lockdown record of this species. Late afternoon and evening, an amazing tally of 7 Frogs was seen huddled in a group together on the southern edge of the fish pond, 2 were next to the pond and 6 were seen in the water. Tallying 15 adult Frogs in total, it was a new record tally of adult frogs for this species. In the evening at around 7pm, 3 Linnets flew east calling over the front garden, perhaps displaced birds from the Fallowfields building works?
