As the deluge continues the last 4 water companies announced that they were removing the hosepipe ban... as many parts of the country were flooded and the ground was saturated I wonder how these people were feeling - relieved or a tad stupid ?
With all the rain, not much more to report. Today was the only dry day of the week and after picking the girls up from the scholl trip to Rome I had an attempt at mowing, although it was a bit boggy and the lawn ended up just mashed up. The parties of young birds around the garden are still being tended by the parents. A pair of
Jays have one youngster they are continuing to fill on peanuts. Two young
Great-spotted Woodpeckers are regulars and
Siskins are starting to re-appear at the feeders. I've had a couple of glimpses of daytime
Tawny Owls as they've been exposed by the neighbouring passerines as well as daytime vocalisations from them.
