Early & late.

A walk home in the early evening, saw the trees sparkle with the white white frost and hearing the robin sing in his tree, high up.
A lonely fox walks across the field, making most of the late afternoon sunshine.

Tower block.

A very windy wet morning. No sign of snow yet.
The nest in the tree opposite the bedroom window has got so big, wonder if that is like a tower block  to the birds.

Jaded spider plant.

I wonder why my spider plant looks a bit jaded , found one of the cats chewing it!
The cat that normally sits by me came onto my lap and stayed there for a long time, which is very unusual for her.
Every time I open the front door I scare of the pigeons as they have decided to roost on the roof of my house. So now my roof is one known as pigeon heights.

Brown pigeon.

Saw a completely dark brown pigeon in town. Very windy, but mild at the moment, but very overcast.
Fox is doing well so are the robin and blackbird. Apart from that it is quiet.

Deers & pigs.

Saw deers in a field with their white tails flashing,  pigs roaming around in a huge pig sty.
The lights reflecting on the streams and lakes making it look all eerie as we sped through the night through the countryside.

Woodpecker.

Heard a green woodpecker first, then saw it.
The pigeons seem to have made their home in the beech tree and with the robin and blackbird nearby, it's seems that the birds are happy to live near me. Which is good very good, it is quiet, no main road and sheltered , but got a windy corner.

Robin & Blackbirds

The robin sings his heart out from the sweet chestnut tree. A blackbird pops his head out from the hedge.  The female blackbird eats the last few orange berries.
My dad used to have a robin who visited him whenever he was in the garden and in the end the robin would feed from my dad's hand.

Pink Clouds.

The clouds were pink this morning, they looked like that they were warming up.
One geranium flower is braving the cold windy weather.
I hear the pigeons in the beech tree cooing.
No need for alarm clocks when nature is about. Really don't mind as I am more of a early morning person.
The seagulls are making the most of their holiday on the local pond, diving, swooping, swimming, and being feed along side the other water fowl.

Adding colour.

A cold damp day leads into a bright sunny morning, with yellow  and orange berries still around adding their colour.  Pigeons roosting in the beech trees.

Cats.

It's is the tom cat I thought it was who is being a pest towards my two females he has been caterwauling  outside in the back garden in the rain and he is soaked, my cats refuse to go out.
I don't blame the cat it is not his fault, but his owner, you cannot take his manhood away she says. Quite a lot of people say the same thing! Come on people not unless you are going to breed from them have both male and females done it's kinder to them, no unwanted kittens ,no smelly tom cats scents indoors ,no spraying indoors. Rant over.

The very pale moon still visible at 9am. It disappeared about 9:25.

TV Nest.

Some birds have made a nest on a tv aerial and they look like magpies.
I think I solved the mystery of the cats, I heard cats having an argument so I opened the back door as quietly as I could, saw my feisty cat on the fence giving this un neutered tom what for, (I do know he is un neutered) , she looked at me as to say I don't need your help I am sorting this problem out myself. She did sort it out bless her. It is a shame as the tom is a lovely cat.

A Pink Moon?

I do not know if I was seeing correctly this morning, but the moon which was full looked pink . There was no airplanes in sight , because at first I thought it could of been a red light reflecting. Then I had an other look and the moon in part the lower part did look pink and it look like the moon was covered in a mist.

Fox and cats.

The fox has made its home in the dog kennel right at the back of the garden. I do know that the cats and the fox get along well as I saw them together . So it is still a mystery what has upset the cats. They have been outside but when they do they do have a good look round and sniff the air. Then run I out  then come back in quickly . I was wondering if there is some un neutered toms about, we have got quite a few this way, or could it be the magpies we have got a few of those as well.  I think I have said before my cats have all be done.
The dog kennel was a present for the cats from my sister many years ago, so if it rains they could stay in there to keep dry reasoned my sister, but sis they have never used it, so glad the fox is using it.

Frosty morning.

Woke up to a fine frosty morning,blue skies and then noticed a flock of pigeons on the roof tops opposite.
In a tree nearby there is a lone nest tucked away near the middle of the tree. It is a magpie nest just seen them fly to it and settled down for a few minutes.

Birds.

Went to visit a friend and while I was sitting in the living room, I noticed a lot of fluttering didn't take much notice at first, it was going on for a while, then I had a proper look , their next door neighbours had put up  some bird feeders in the trees near the window, and they were having a good time the, starlings, blackbirds, sparrows and even a magpie.
Saw blue tits in my garden they only seem to visit me in the winter and early spring, but it is nice to see them.
I did used to feed the birds, but we had a very bad pigeon problem and it was a very bad problem, but it seems to be sorted now, so at the time I had to stop feeding the birds, one day I counted at least 30 pigeons in my garden ,I stopped counting after that, I wasn't the only one who had that problem. The pigeons now are only a small flock .

Busy morning .

Who was more startled the fox or me, as I opened the front door to put the rubbish out. It is looking well, nice shiny coat. Glad to see it again.
Saw a bird of prey hovering, it looked like it was ready to pounce on its prey. Saw two ducks on a huge lake swimming away happily. Then saw a collie rounding up the sheep. All this on a train journey what lasts about 20 minutes and not forgetting the horses in the fields with their coats on this misty,drizzly morning. Then I left the station a magpie came over to greet me, it's mate was in the trees nearby, I said good morning to them both.

Only bird.

The only bird I hear this morning is the the resident robin. But where the other birds are I do not know, it is so quiet.
Ps just heard the birds, they must of overslept!

Icy rain and wind.

Cold icy rain, cold icy wind, now is the time to wear my hat,scarf and gloves.but it is nice  to be out and about.
