Tuesday 8th March 2016

Another pretty good day. Dry, mild for time of year with temp' reaching 12c this afternoon.
This morning checked out over 3,000 photographs from a trail camera focused on the peanut butter feeders in the wooded area of the garden. Was interested to see what was chomping through a full jar in a day.
Amazed to see it was starlings, blackbirds and woodpeckers eating non stop once my back was turned. When I sit in this area I only see blue/great tits, goldfinches, goldcrest, green/chaffinches so was surprised to see the larger birds there eating most of the food. Also in this collection of photographs a sparrowhawk flew in and took out a goldfinch.
          This afternoon I sieved the last of the wormery compost, nice. Two 12.5 kg of lovely potting compost to use at a later date.
Next job is the removal of a chestnut tree stump, that will take some digging out. Once removed I can then start preparing the site for the igloo base. Getting exciting now.
