Crisis Crossing

Woke up to pink clouds blue skies, airplanes with their vapour trails making a criss crossing pattern in the sky.
Honeysuckle is beginning to come into leaf .

Sleet.

Watching the sleet come down at twilight causing huge puddles in turn they run into each other’s causing to become rivers.
Mentioned the bird of prey? Bird to a friend and they said that they saw a bird hovering  over the field near were she lives which isn’t far from me, so she keeping her binoculars handy and hopes to see it again.

Bird of Prey?

Saw a new bird sitting in the apple tree . At first I thought it was a pigeon but a slightly closer look no it wasn’t. It was not a black bird or crow or raven. It looked liked a smallish bird of prey but in my neck of the woods we don’t seem to have these sort of birds here. I didn’t want to move as I would of scared it off. Now that’s a mystery that needs to be solved.
The blue tits are nesting in the apple tree it’s quite secluded so they should be safe.

The huge beech tree is surrounded by a ring of toadstools. Snowdrops are beginning to show in the garden whether they are late or early it doesn’t matter lovely to see.

Parakeets

A sight and a sound I hadn’t heard or seen for aw while a flock of parakeets flew over chattering away in the late afternoon sun going home to roost.
Icy winds cut through chill factor getting low real low.

Song Thrush

Grey skies then the rain came so quick it was over in seconds now blue skies sun out. Still windy but not as bad as yesterday.
A song thrush sings to its hearts content while sitting on the fence such a wonderful song and sound. Takes my breath away

Windy Day

We got the tail end of hurricane Eleanor in this neck of the woods so a very windy day but at the moment no rain, but quite a blue sky and some clouds.
Resident robin was guarding his patch last night about 8pm singing at the top of his voice.

Cat and Wind

Opened patio door to let the fresh air in and next doors cat decided to pick a fight with my cat with the eyesight problem, bet it wished it didn’t my cat gave as good as it got and more , the other cat run off.
Don’t get me wrong any cat is welcomed in my garden no problem and most of the cats round here are lovely cats, but this cat picks a fight with all of them how their other cat gets on with this one , I don’t know. Their other cat is lovely.
Rant over!
Grey morning not much of a sunrise but thankfully no wind we have had a lot of high wind in my neck of the woods.
