More Blue Tit

I Just Knew It....

"I've not turned the lights on in the box today," I said, while sitting in the car on the way to Edinburgh, "something's bound to go in..."

Just a few random images from this afternoon...

Not much sun around, as you can see!

Blue Tit

This is the first time I've been able to upload in a week or so. Annoying.

Some of my usual not-very-good photos of a blue tit up near the kitchen window - wonder if it's the chap who visited the nest box last week?

No visits inside the nest box since the last one (Feb 28th). I've moved some of the feeders away from it so that it's a little quieter. Have also collected some nesting material for nearer the time (far too early yet).

I keep looking outside thinking it's time to start on the garden but I just can't be arsed it's far too cold and windy.

A male brambling returned today (last seen 2nd Feb) as did a stunning male pheasant -though not one of our old regulars from a while ago - he hid at the bottom of the garden rather than run to me for food!
