Just as things seemed to be calming down at the end of the run, the grey wagtails had an unexpected visitor to the nest - a jay came in and predated some of the chicks. But it was a total catastrophe... some survived the initial onslaught, but how many? 
 
On a happier note the blackbirds have fledged the nest, and we get our final update on the festival of raptors at Sherborne. The single buzzard chick is going strong; the smallest kestrel and barn owl chicks are hanging on a fighting for every scrap of food, and the red kits are bigger and better then ever.
