Warm but overcast day with showers this morning and late afternoon.
As wet this morning I started the annual Autumn garage clear out ready to have the car garaged over winter.
This afternoon with weather much improved I started the cutting down of the sunflowers. Will dry over winter before cutting to produce bug boxes. With so few sunflowers stems this year it will only be a small bug box.
Plenty of fungi forming now, a good sign of Autumn. Other signs of Autumn are the insects looking now to hibernate, ladybirds particularly.
Definate signs now of a third hedgehog, one photographed at the bottom end of the garden as reported yesterday and overnight some hog poo appeared on the deck path.
Have images of the fox and spike sharing an egg, good to see they are friendly to each other.
Good to see the Jay returning today, not seen for some while. Fed well on the monkey nuts this morning. Tufty missed out today.
With the abundance of berries about at the moment has seen a marked decrease in birds on the feeders. A good sign actually, the planting of these berry fruiting shrubs over the years is now paying off.
