An horrendous day. Gale force wind with heavy rain late afternoon and night.
Despite the atrocious weather I still managed to glue more of the plastic bottles and work on the alpine house. Good to be using up timber from my very old timber stack.
Hope to start on the alpine bench tomorrow. Will soon have to research where I can purchase alpine soil/gravel in bulk. Have only seen it in small bags at garden centres.
Birds were plentiful today despite the strong winds. Woody spent most of the day about the garden, no sign of the female however. Female sparrowhawk appeared briefly but was chased away by the magpie.
There was a strange happening late this afternoon at the pond area, a large mass of fleece like material and dried leaves appeared. Clearly a nest as was clear from the sleeping quarters. Thinking squirrel, with nest having fallen from a tree? Have set the camera to see if whoever returns overnight.
