June will seem quieter; many youngsters have fledged and bird song will be more muted, as adults no longer need to establish and maintain territories.

However, this is the month of second broods. Birds like blackbirds, swallows and tits may still raise young and we can help by keeping feeders and bird tables well stocked.

Although bread is traditionally given to birds, its not the best thing for them, as it has little nutritional value.

Other leftovers like grated cheese, crumbled up cake and biscuits, cooked rice and porridge oats are much better alternatives. And do keep putting out mealworms - ideally live ones. They are protein packed and perfect for growing chicks.

Now everything is finally in leaf, nests will be well hidden, so be wary of trimming too enthusiastically.

In fact, the best thing you can do in your garden this month is sit outside in the warm and enjoy the wildlife around you.

This is butterfly time, and if you have water nearby you'll start seeing dragonflies and lovely, delicate demoiselles. Look out for bats at dusk and moths.

Often over-looked as the butterfly's dull cousin, moths come in an amazing array of colours, sizes and patterns.

You might even be lucky and see a humming bird hawkmoth, which are being spotted in more and more places throughout Britain.

They hover, exactly like humming birds, feeding on nectar through a long proboscis which looks exactly like a beak.

I hope you've been enjoying Springwatch from our new home in Norfolk.

We've met all sorts of new characters, like the greenfinch, the coal tit with her huge brood of eleven chicks and the little ringed plover.

And who can forget the dramatic footage Simon King sent us from Scotland – the magnificent ospreys and that wild cat! Wildlife is never predictable!

I'll see you next month.
