Squatters

Another day of quite wet weather, though not as bad as yesterday, and it did improve as the day went on.

I spent quite a while playing in the sewing room.  From my sewing table I can see the house martins nest under the sofits.  They had been working on it last week, and it is half restored.  But they seem be disinclined to work on the site during bad weather, and I was fascinated to discover that Mr and Mrs House Sparrow had moved in.  Later in the day, when the weather improved a little, the house martins returned, and were trying, unsuccessfully, to reclaim their home.

Later still, there seemed to be nobody in residence.  It will be interesting to see who, if anyone, eventually raises a family there.
