Mizzley Day.

A mizzley sort of day wind blowing strongly. Wet leaves everywhere so slip slide as you walk. Even the birds have taken cover don’t blame them. A true November day love it !

Jay and Squirrel

Grey drizzley weather brightened  up by the jay sitting on the fence and the squirrel also on the fence a few yards apart, looking at each other. The nights are drawing in quickly, but it won’t be long and 21th December the shortest day will be here, then the dark nights be getting shorter.

November

Rain mist drizzle grey dull day it’s a proper November day. But Christmas lights are brighting up,the dark early nights.
Dawn chorus in the early morning brighten up the morning.

Moss throwing

Watching a magpie tugging at the moss then throwing it away. The trees are nearly bare , their leaves thickly carpet the ground. So we are properly in November now .

Hailstorm.

The sudden hailstorm came from nowhere the hail stones where bouncing along the ground like tennis balls even though they where a size of a golf ball. More more hail to be had by the look of the clouds

Squirrel, Cat .

Squirrel runs safely across the fence no cat in sight. Written to soon Cat is now on the post looking for squirrel but somehow I think the cat has got a long wait.
Patio door is open for a blast of fresh air the weather is so mild at the moment. But grey clouds are looming promising rain later.

Fine Shower

A fine shower of rain like a garden sprinkler freshened the air, still mild for November. No new interesting birds. I think the cat realised not to chase the squirrel, she just sat and watched the squirrel at a safe distance.

Jay.

The strong high winds are pushing the clouds at such a speed that it looks like a cloud traffic jam !
A very unexpected visitor came to visit a Jay , it sat on the fence for awhile and it was lovely to look at at it . Such beautiful plumage.

Cat, Squirrel & Spider

A cat stalked a squirrel along the fence and nearing a big holly bush the squirrel dived right in, so did the cat . The cat didn’t realise how prickly the holly bush was . Ouch!
A spider spun its web on the washing line , the web is being battered in the high winds and the spider is in the in the centre clinging on as it was a gentle breeze. Such a delicate web but so strong.

Mild November.

A very mild November warm enough to wear a body warmer. A magpie strutting his stuff on the roof trying to attract his mate , maybe they had a falling out .

Magical.

The roads and pavements are deep in puddles due to the extra heavy downpours.
A bird of prey sits on the bollard for a few minutes just sitting having a good look around then he hears me crunching on the last of the beech nuts and flies off. He does a fly past over my head. Magical.
