Saturday 6th February 2016

Wind today was close to the 1987 gales. Thankfully no garden damage this time and trees are still vertical. Heavy rain late this afternoon/evening.
Glued another batch of igloo bottles, almost enough now to create the base/foundation. Will have to be a decent day to do this, certainly no wind.
Also constructed the base table that will take the weight of the alpine tray. Hopefully will construct the tray tomorrow.
             Despite the strong winds there were more birds about today than have seen for a few days now. Male woody must have neck ache tonight, spent most of the day hammering at the robinia tree.
Tufty was amusing dragging in long sticks to the drey house. Good day for sticks as the wind brought loads down.
