Saturday 23rd Feb
We had a tree fall over a couple of months ago, very rotten so wasn't surprised, it's been a dead un for ages, but have cut it into two and bedded into the garden, they look quite good actually and is handy to place a cup of tea whilst working.
Started off with my work in the garden, got to keep the wife happy
Few walkabouts today, mainly the reserves areas and Captain's, one walk over the fields didn't reveal much at all.
There was a Great Crested Grebe again and a cormorant along with a couple of Mute Swans and all the usual subjects.
Saw one wren, treecreepers, starlings, chaffinches, blackbirds, pigeons and nuthatches, plus there seemed to be a lot more magpies about than usual.
The usual robins of course.
Spotted my first butterfly of the year by Captain's, a Brimstone, is spring coming, I doubt it yet, a few bumble bees around.
Nice to see lots of families walking around the fields today.
Hoping the warm weather may continue for a few more days, but it has clouded up this evening.
