I popped over to Venus Pool last week on a very quiet day for birds. There was very little about though recent wet weather had improved the water levels. During a walk to the reed bed hide and I came across many Early Purple Orchids in the field adjacent to the path. Clearly the appropriate management of the meadow has encouraged these flowers and they should be in full bloom by the time I've posted this note on my blog.
We have a noisy neighbourhood outside our back door. It is a Wren which has built a nest - one of many I imagine - under the archway by our greenhouse. I understand that the male will have several nest sites with which to entice females who then choose the one they prefer. It was ever thus.
