A quick post for the middle of June.  Migration is mainly over and most birds around now are in the midst of breeding with lots of adults carrying food to nests and young and a number of recently fledged birds around.  There is still lots of song but it has started to slow down, especially for some species.  Just a small sample of photos of breeding species shown above.
