Dunnocks and Crane Flies

Proof of Dunnocks nesting in the garden area this morning - an adult seen carrying a faecal sac. I had suspected as much in recent weeks but this seems to be a clincher.

 A dead Crane Fly in the flat may be the species Tipula oleracea. You have to count the divisions on the antennae to be sure, but life may be too short....
