What a cracking day, plenty of sun, warm and very little wind. Changing for the rest of the week to arctic temps'. Reached a high of 16c today.
Day spent shifting six barrow loads of compost to the Rose border. Hard work but mulching done for this year now. Can't do better than home made compost.
Starlings bring in as much material as they take out, not feeling good about this nest. Magpie has also sussed the nest and spent time with his face in the opening.
New Swift box now ready to fix under the eaves but chickened out fixing it up today. Will try again tomorrow after a nights rest.
