I may have mentioned before? It’s been really dreich here for ages now, possibly weeks. The sun peeps through now and again but essentially it has been grey, overcast, cloudy and pretty chilly, not great for photography, not great for walks but I’ve still been getting out and about. … More Dreich days of December
this article has taken me soooooooooo long to put together! Maybe the weather? Busy with other things? (I doubt it) Just one of those funks we sometimes get into but glad to have got there finally. … More Weekly Digest
I’ve just come to realise that there is a set of birds out there that only appear in the garden as the weather begins to decline, maybe not decline, the temperature drops perhaps. I’ve spotted a (the) Mistle Thrush a couple of times now, a pair of Brambling dropped in on Sunday & Monday and … More They call me the Creeper

Well, who’d have thought it? No N or O birds visit gardens, certainly not this garden! So right on to P and there are a couple that drop by from time to time, keeping in mind, we live in the country and on a working farm. Pheasant Yes, we get Pheasant among our garden visitors, … More Our Garden Visitors (P)
I was out for a walk today, up at the reservoir, probably my favourite walk. There were no cars in the car park when I got there, always a good sign for me. The sun was shining, the sky was mostly blue and a decent breeze was blowing. I was up here to spot the … More Red Kite
Just across the garden, over the fence and across the farm yard are the steadings, the sheds barns, workshops but, for the purposes of this wee venture, I’m going to use barn because, it’s all about the Barn Owl(s) that live in there, in a nest box.
