A beautiful day. Warm and sunny all day. Temperature reached 15c this afternoon.
Was just good to be out in the garden today. Ten sacks of shredded leaves now spread on the garden, four sacks left now to rot down during the next year.
Just the oak tree to shed its leaves now, going to be a while I think. My next project before Christmas is the cutting down of the willow tree which has grown worryingly large, overhanging two gardens. Need to deal with while I can still climb a ladder. It is a daunting task and may well still have to contact an arborist. We'll see.
Lots of fungi appeared overnight, my wood piles are certainly doing a good job. Signs of mammals using at least two piles, not forgetting the beetles and other insects that have taken up residence.
Good to see the hedgehogs back feeding again. Three out last night, not moving far now, have certainly slowed down.
Female great spotted woodpecker appeared this afternoon as did a jay. Generally the birds are returning now after a lull of a few weeks.
A most stunning sunset tonight to finish a glorious day.
