Both broods of blue tits — one nested in a hollow steel plough frame, the other in the cap of a Haybob 300 hay-turner — fledged a day before a heatwave that might have suffocated the chicks or led to a farm accident. A robin’s nest was found inside a haybale, a tree bumblebee nest occupied a hydraulic post-banger, and swallows, pied and grey wagtails fed around the stableyard. It is the fourth Country diary observation published this week, following pieces on a Chelsea garden, a damselfly in the south-west, and a Devon beech.
