Rescused

 While putting out the recycling I rescued a ladybird/ ladybug from a spider web , put it in a place of safety free from any spiderwebs. 

A bit of sunshine at the moment but rain promised again.

Rare Appearances

Two rare appearances a badger and a hare was seen but not at the same time. The hare so quick and fast sped along the field. The badger must of just woken up looked around and sniffed the air then slowly started to walk. Beautiful sights.

A Bit Cooler

 The rain came in early evening. And did it rain , never stopped till mid morning the next day. But not as cool as it could be. But enjoyed the rain the sound and the filling of the water butt. Birds are out singing now it’s a bit cooler. 

Apple Tree

 A sparrow hawk decides to rest for a while in the old apple tree. The old apple tree that everyone say cut it down. NO! Is the answer, otherwise if I had it cut down I wouldn’t had the privilege of the sparrow hawk visiting. The closest I seen one  really a stunning looking bird. It stayed about 10 mins then had a drink and flew off. 

The old apple tree stays it is home to countless of insects a resting place for the birds and butterflies. And I am a tree lover and it still fruits so it’s staying. And now decide while writing this is to have a small wildflower patch near the apple tree . Perfect! 

Broken Promise

 The promise of rain never came, even though the sky was heavily laden with very dark rain clouds. Thunderstorms are predicted in the next couple of days or so , have to wait and see if that happens. 

Very quiet and still. Apart from a bee buzzing. 

Very Calming

 A quiet drive in the countryside. Watching tractors being busy. Hedge cutting in some places being done . A rook decides to hop skip and jump across the road.  Driving in between the avenue of trees and seeing the horizon being very low in the near distance very awe inspiring. A soft sunset. Very calming. 

Beak Full

 A female blackbird pulled up some dead grass and flies away with a beak full . Gone maybe to make a new nest or reline the old one. Weather still very nice.
