Good to catch up with Doug this morning with Anna and Ben. My word how Ben has grown since the last visit.
Sadly the Swifts have yet to make an entrance to Basingstoke Road but good to reminisce with Doug & Anna on the success story at 483 when they lived there.
My dream is to take on the good work Doug left behind, have the box, camera and CD. Hurry up Swifts, don't let us down!
On walking around the garden this afternoon I could not but admire the beauty of Snails. Not a gardeners friend and the trend is to kill. Not me, let live I say?
It was also quite noticeable how many Ladybirds are appearing now, saw a mixture of Red, Orange and Black with appropriate spots of course.
Latter part of the afternoon was spent in front of the monitors mesmerised by the antics of the Blue Tit family. The photographs sum up what it is like inside a nest box pretty well.
Pictures 1 - 4 - Snails.
