Dragonflies in the garden!

Another new visitor to our garden, a Common Darter dragonfly and male Common Blue Damselfly, we have had a couple now.
need to sort some more tubs of wild flowers out for next year.

More Birds in the GARDEN!!!

There seems to be an increase in birds visiting the garden (or just overhead) this year.
We have seen:

Young Sparrows
Young Blue Tits
Robin
Blackbirds
Wood Pigeon
Magpies
Goldfinch
The odd Bat at dusk
Swifts high above the garden.

The main thing is there seems to be more of them which is good. We have been trying to attract more birds for a long time and it looks like it may pay off. We have never had sparrows in the garden, what we have seen though are loads on the other side of the road.

We shall be keeping a close eye on what goes on.

Wind and Rain Podding Adventure 4th to 6th June

Another trip out in the Pod and another visit to Blue Belle Cottage Site at Knott End. The idea was to take Thomas away for a few days while Rebecca gets on with her dissertation.
The drive there was great and the weather was fantastic, leading us in to a false sense.

Day One: evening, some colouring, note the sunshine.

Then a bit of tablet time.

The following days were very wet and very windy.

Brew time.

Although stuck inside Thomas had a great time and said the bed was the best bed he had ever slept in.

Unfortunately no time for photography or birding. May be next time....

Below you can see the car looking a bit wind swept.
