Wednesday 9th March 2016

What an awful day. Heavy overnight rain showing 15mm on the gauge. Day was cold, dull with heavy rain again this afternoon in to the evening.
After the weekly shop this morning I decided to stay in this afternoon and work on my latest book, history of 479. Beginning to look good, think I may well run out of pages so am preparing to reduce the number of photographs.
           Sad to see a sick greenfinch. Looked lovely but clearly a sick bird. The pair of great spotted were busy today so hopefully will see young later in the season.
Getting worried now about the swift box. The blue tit still roosts very night. Do not really wish to lock him out, just hope with the lighter, milder weather imminent it will leave without pressure from me.
