Evening all.
After successfully nesting twice last year, once on the pot of the three tiered topiary & once behind the pots on one of the auricula theatres the local robins are now building inside the ornamental nest box on the tiered staging by the greenhouse...
Looking west at the low tide sand and limestone beach and the low cliffs. Unchanged for centuries. Grey sky and low breaking waves
Bore da! ☕️ It's a soft grey Saturday so here's soft grey Mewslade 💙
Enjoy your day!🌼✨

And then I’m happy for the rest of the day, safe in the knowledge their will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it”

Our oldest Monks Wood Marsh Tit has survived his 11th winter, and is singing again on his territory, 40 m from where he was colour-ringed in 2015. He's been widowed again so is advertising for a new female. He's probably in the top 5 oldest Marsh Tits recorded in Britain. #ukbirding #ornithology

It is a hideous scandal that they can publish a chart as obvious as this and not even mention the words 'covid infections'.
