Tuesday 22nd April 2014

A very dull, overcast day with showers late afternoon. 17mm of rain recorded over night. Temp' today again reached a high of 15c.
Day in the workshop framing copies of Rick Stein menu's on the two occasions we have eaten at this prize winning Padstow restaurant. Visits in 2004 & 2014.
          Plenty of Birds about today. Jay, Male/Female GSWs & Wren. Particularly pleased to see the Wren as not spotted for some weeks. Appears to be back in the pouch, nesting? I'm not sure. Still the 9 Blue Tit eggs, being turned every hour. Leaves nest for only minutes now before returning with bugs she gradually eats. Her partner also appeared in the box for a short time. Starlings still manic of course feeding their young.
