Wow, is that your own photo?!
Thanks Chris - yep mine from earlier today. Was great just to see it! It did get chased off but them came back.

Thanks @ForestHull and @MackemJo. It was great to just watch also, not bothered by me in the slightest, it came pretty close on a few occasions. A really amazing bird.

Was that down on the plot?
Yep - I’ve seen it twice now and yesterday there were 2 for a few minutes. The magpies keep chasing them off each time they get close to the ground so hopefully that won’t put them off.
It did put me off my digging for quite a while which was a double bonus!

Must take my camera down there!
Welp. It’s reached the time of year where I genuinely consider setting fire to the flat every time I open the window.

I don’t mind them - I view it that they catch bugs in the house for me! My wife however does not agree with this thought process!
I’ve got a kids climbing frame type thing in the garden, and as they don’t use it much as the moment each time I walk though it I walk headfirst into a spider web - literally every time! I expect the spider thinks I am one of the stupidest and most annoying humans in history!

I think spiders are absolutely amazing. I love watching them spin their webs and even seeing them pick their way across floors is pretty cool. I do take them out of the bath to avoid drowning them but generally just put them down with somewhere dark to scurry into.

And here just munching away…
Hopefully with some sun previewed for the next few days will have more opportunities to take some photos in brighter conditions!

Very cool. Though I thought your tits were urban art for a moment. Getting my topics mixed up.

I’ve been trying to work out squirrel nesting sites for a while, and then photograph one going in or coming out. I saw this one going in, andnit then popped it’s head out again before disappearing. Not sure when the young start emerging but I know where it is now so will keep an eye out.
