Garden sightings

The very hot weather is over and the first rains for some considerable times have arrived. I've seen few cranes since my last post but it's possible that the migration has been delayed this year.
The bird scene is generally quiet and my bike rides usually turn up around 30 familiar species but there are a few things of note especially around the house and garden.
At least one brambling joined the tits and chaffinches on the sunflower seed feeders and two firecrests were feeding in a flowering shrub outside the kitchen window. On one warmer morning a few days back I was taking my breakfast on the patio and watched a female hen harrier hunting the roadside verge.
