Had a quiet day today, basically the garden and a short walk. Though sunny it was rather windy and that kept much stuff out of sight. There are now probably a dozen
Bee-flies in the garden though the Tawny Mining Bees have not been seen for a while. The poor inexperienced pair of
Blackbird have failed and she has now deserted her nest though he was still singing this morning.
A short walk produced very little except one good bird, a
Red Kite. It was seen over the trees some distance away but performing a superb ariel display in the wind. I managed to get a couple of shots before it drifted off. It was the first Red Kite I've had at Waldridge this year.

A nice, rather male
Pied Wagtail was singing nearby as I made my way home.

Managed to add 2 more flowering plants today,
Japanese Rose that's suckering everywhere these days, and a
Bay Willow, now the big one in the South Burn Woods seems to be nearly dead and doesn't look like it's going to flower this year.
