After heavy overnight rain the day was glorious. Chilly, dry and plenty of sun.
25mm overnight rain.
11c average outdoor temp'.
6mph average wind speed.
With a Boxing Day party scheduled for Saturday with the family I today created two games we can play with the children. A 'pin the nose on the Donkey' and 'the fastest Penquin'. Should be fun?
        Exciting day watching bird life in the garden. Good to see the Jays returning and the female Great Spotted Woodpecker. Having another go at putting out monkey nuts to try and keep them in the garden now.
Female Sparrowhawk also made a brief visit before being chased away by three Crows.
