Friday 19th July

Once again, the weather will take top line on the blog... This morning, it was great with quite a warmth in the air but mid afternoon, there were a few spots of rain, not a lot but...

Having said that, I took some time out in "our hut" this morning with my "bins". Apart from seeing numerous House Sparrows, Siskins were seen and then out from nowhere a juvenile Goldfinch was spotted down on the edge of the bird seed crop. But equally rewarding was seeing around a dozen or so Willow Warblers on the various seed heads. Out of the kitchen window, we had a Hooded Crow strutting around beside where the wee birds are fed, you could almost hear it say "Look at Me". Also this evening, I just saw a Rock Dove in a similar mode and again in the same place, if not a bit closer to the house... Out on the grass, there have been some Pied Wagtails as well as a few Blackbirds and Song Thrushes have a good howk looking for some grubs to eat.
