Sunday 4th October 2015









What a superb day, warm and sunny all day.
Today was more relaxing, planted out hundreds of bulbs that I had dug up in the spring and separated. Could not believe how many I had collected. A mix of tulips, daffs, crocus, snowdrops and bluebells. Should be a good showing next spring.
             Good to see the Jay returning to the garden, only started putting out monkey nuts yesterday afternoon so hopefully will see the Great Spotted returning soon.
Greenfinches and sparrows also returning in larger numbers now. Not seen starlings or blackbirds for a while however. There is of course plenty of food about in the wild at the moment.
Pictures 1 & 2 - Back garden looking splendid in the autumn sun.
      "              3 - Greenfinch.

      "       8 & 9 - Slug habitat, not seen a green stripped one before.
