Despite the damp conditions last night I had a record number of moths in the trap. Not even set the trap tonight as rain forecast most of the evening.
What was noticeable this morning was the large number of birds that appeared on the feeders since the lull during the summer. Goldfinches, Greenfinches, Blue and Great Tits, Sparrows, Blackbirds and Starlings. A Great Tit also spent some time in the squirrel box. Think it well roost here during the winter?
A welcome surprise visitor turned up this afternoon who had not seen for 2 years. Caught up on family news and gossip. We used to holiday with Barry and Margaret when the children were young so spent a fair amount of time reminiscing.
Another visitor(s) this afternoon was Leilani and Celie. Leilani to say final goodbye before she leaves for Plymouth tomorrow to start a 3 year music course at Plymouth University. How can she be 19 for goodness sake?
