Saturday 25th February 2012




Another glorious day with max temp' reaching again 18 mid afternoon.
Day started with an early meet with Boyo hoping to photograph a Little Owl. No picture but did see the Owl for a couple of minutes. Lucky to see a Green Woodpecker at very close quarters, closest I have ever seen one, beautiful colouring.
Sadly morning was spoilt by a Mallard on it's back on the opposite side of the road obviously injured. Was not safe to stop so hoping another motorist was able to complete the kill. Harsh, but clearly the Duck could not be saved.
Rest of day spent in Garden, connected camera to the Woodpecker Nest Box so hope now the box is used! Despite me working on the box, Woody carried on eating nuts only a matter of 2mtrs away.
Trail Camera picked out a Fox last night, at 7pm tonight I was watching the pair playing on the lawn so hopefully more picts' tomorrow.
Still no sign of the Jays, I am getting worried now. Perhaps the Neighbs have a better quality nut than mine?!
Daffodils out today, never known this early. On the way to Bracknell this morning couldn't help but notice the bank of Daffs in full bloom just as you exit the A329M.
