Stormtossed...

Currently we are between named storms; Isha leaves and here comes Jocelyn... I wonder if we will run out of names this year... Janet, however, continues to work in the gardens. 

She came in this morning and said "grab your camera, there's a fledgling bluetit in the garden". Well of course it's not a bluetit... but we've never before knowingly had Goldcrests. 

This one would seem to have had a hard night of it and was possibly blown out of the trees at the end of the garden. Still alive but clearly unhappy with its lot. Best go large, because Goldcrests are very small...

Not much to be done. Janet built up a pile of leaf litter to shield it from the worst of the wind and rain, and we left it to Nature's gift (and hopefully not to next door's cat, which is unlikely to be out in this weather).
