The garden continues to be quiet, although we have seen the Green Woodpecker on a number of occasions recently. A Kestrel hunting high over the golf course was an uncommon sighting from the garden. On the way out late afternoon I went for a walk around the tarn. The Greylag geese and the Canada geese are still shepherding their youngsters although it is now very difficult to tell them apart. Also saw two family groups of Coot each with 4 young, one group of which are very young so presumably have come from the one nest that was still being incubated last week.
