That's better, after heavy overnight rain the day turned out to be very mild and sunny. Good to spend the day in the garden.
Emptied and re-positioned a couple of nest boxes. Fixed up my new Bat box and and also removed the bird from the Woodpecker box. Initially thought this was a Frog. There was not a nest in the box so unsure what happened here, appears to be a full size bird? Am sure my old walking partner Doug will have some thoughts on this?
Annoyingly a mouse has been at the wasp nest, interesting however to see inside the exposed nest and the comb layers.
