ON THE LOG AT SPEECH HOUSE

CHAFFINCH

TWO OF THE FIVE

Here are two of the five Blue tits that were hatched in our bird box,they dont need their parents to feed them now.Only a short few weeks ago,they were eggs.They have been a joy to watch.

GARDEN POND

These are a few photos of my pond this afternoon,a bit of sun makes everything better

PS i,Don't know whats happened to the next photo but if you click on the x it should pop up,sorry. it should be some Starlings enjoying a bath in the waterfall.

SOME MORE WIND DIRECTION VANES

Here are two more vanes i spotted while walking around a small village near the River Severn. Health & Safety tip......DON'T try spotting weather vanes while driving,it could spoil your day and the shape of your car.

FOXGLOVES

The Foxgloves are making a welcome show of colour in the forest,now that the Bluebells are gone.

DEER TAKEN LAST NIGHT.......TODAY RAIN...LOTS OF IT

TREE RAT.......FEEDING AGAIN

I am off on holiday to Cyprus tomorrow, so no posts from me for the next 10 days

ON THE RIVER BANK

On the river bank walk i took the other day,i came across this old brick building.Too small to be a barn,it may have been used by Salmon fishermen...Note its got a chimney. The other a very low tin shed probably used for sheep

The Yew tree in the picture has seen a lot of years come and go too.

WEATHER VANES

With a couple of hours to kill on Saturday,i took a walk on the banks of the River Severn at Minsterworth. The top pic is at a farm called Dunni Farm and the other a place called Pump Court. Both buildings are very old..200years ?

UNOPENED FOXGLOVE

The Bluebells in the forest have gone passed there best, and are now dieing back. In there place will be the Foxgloves.

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

I walked passed this old building the other day,its the same today as 55 years ago. Nothing has been done with it

JAY

YOUNG BLUE TIT

To day is the start of of this young Blue tits life, all five of them flew the nest box outside my kitchen window. I'm pleased that they are alright,but will miss the comings and goings of the adult birds as the worked long hours to feed their brood.
