As we near the end of this Indian summer September, I can’t believe so many weeks have past since my last update.  Hope you’ll forgive this effort for being a bit ‘what we did on our holidays’, but I’m afraid that’s what it is.  Following all those weeks of wonderful weather in June and July, we chose to go to Norfolk during what was the coolest, wettest August for many a year.

 

Well it’s now the middle of July and the bird box on the hawthorn tree is empty.  All the little great tits have flown, and although sadly we did find one casualty on the lawn, we have since seen others being fed by their parents in various trees around the garden so we know that some of them survived.
