Wednesday 25th February 2015






A good day, mild with lots of sunny periods with temp' reaching 12c this afternoon.
Not much doing today as Morrisons shop day and Richard & Anne called in this afternoon for a catch up and bringing me with loads of interesting Bird and Wildlife books they no longer required. Nice one Anne.
               Brilliant garden bird news this afternoon from the cam nerve center!
Late this afternoon a pair of Blue Tits appeared in the nest box that was used last year. Managed a photograph of one of them. Still getting over this excitement and a pair of Starlings appeared in the nest box as used last year. There clearly was some mating going on over a period of ten minutes which also included picking up twigs in some kind of mating ritual?
Brilliant to watch, what an afternoon.
