Hazy sunshine, 16º, light SE.
A definite change in the weather today, warm and sunny.
However a day spent in the garden for a change as I had to lay some paving in
the greenhouse and we needed to do a lot of planting which included a Herb garden with 18 different culinary herbs, that included Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme and others that Loren uses in her cooking.
At least 3 Robins
in the garden, 1 pair and an interloper from nearby, the same goes for Blackbirds with a pair and a single
male from nearby occasionally.
Chaffinch, Greenfinch and Goldfinch all still regular with Blue & Great Tit,
also visiting today was the Moorhen,
5 Mallard, 2 Carrion Crow, 2 Collared
Dove, 2 Stock Dove, c10 Wood Pigeon, 1 Great-spotted Woodpecker, 5 House
Sparrow and a couple of Red Kite
overhead regularly along with Jackdaws
& Rooks flying to and fro (the Church rd Rookery has approx 35 nests).
The meadow had additionally a Green Woodpecker, Chiffchaff, Song
Thrush, and Mistle Thrush.
Also 4 species of butterfly today with quite a few Brimstone, good numbers of Peacock and Small Tortoiseshell and a single Small White.
