The noisy crowd

The cordyline flowered for the first time this Spring. The flowers were very popular with the bees and flies.

And now the fruit/ seeds are very popular with the birds.

Starlings are like people. Very sociable. Subject to social distancing rules which seem to be generally understood. But which break down when they all descend on the same thing, resulting in a lot of quarrelling and noisy chatter.

Thanks to cailleach.

And today - my car had its MOT . It should have happened at the end of March, when lockdown was announced exactly 6 months ago today that became an impossibility. Good to get that sorted.
