In town shopping this morning for picture frames and all the electric fittings and cable required for the lodge.
Does not always pay to buy cheap. Back in the winter I purchased some very cheap picture frames, this week four came apart and crashed to the floor - hence buying replacements today but of better quality this time. As a matter of interest can you believe the glass did not break.
This afternoon transplanted 50 of the 90 sunflower plants. Weather permitting will transplant rest tomorrow. Pretty sure will lose a high % to slugs or snails.
Also spent a couple of hours in the hide this afternoon. Brilliant to see a female great spotted woodpecker from the hide. To be that close with the bird not aware of me made me feel like Mr. Bellamy!
The sad news of the day is the death of two blue tits, as explained previously the two were most definitely the weakest. The remaining four healthy birds are now at the entrance hole of the box with the deceased clearly seen in the nest.
