It is a wild day. The heavy rain has passed but the wind is roaring over the house and through the trees.Saw my first flock of redwing - here for the abundant berries.
The hawthorns are heavy with haws which some say indicates a cold winter ahead. Personally I would have thought it reflects the seasons past and pollination, frost damage to blossom and so on.
The garden seems full of birds and we have had the male greater spotted woodpecker back but this time on the feeders just outside the kitchen window. He is becoming bolder.
This is an old radio which currently lives out side the house on a windowsill in the covered area by the kitchen.
As I have outside electric sockets, in the summer I can listen to the cricket and sit in the sun.
A spider has set up house inside the radio - somewhere sheltered, dry and safe from predators. The latter essential as this is near the bird feeders.
The garden is looking a little unloved and untidy as I have been sidetracked by journeys to Manchester. At least there is nothing that a bit of hard labour will not cure - when I can motivate myself.
