On Demand

The Great Tit  family wanting food. Doesn't dad look harassed? I say dad because I read that the females have thinner black strips on their chest. I may be wrong ...

Confined to barracks today because after last night I was suffering quite extraordinarily  which in hindsight didn't surprise me.

I was certainly under orders as texts and messages were flying in with the heads up of a dragon surfacing which would have required a walk. Not a great deal but more than I can cope with at the moment. I kept telling myself that I was lucky, it wasn't terminal, I could have done worse .... Oh yes but it doesn't make the problems you had in the first place get any smaller.

So on the PLUS side I got out another tent hide that has been sitting in my office for months/ a year  as the other one was ripped to shreds by the wind. Not easy as I had to u-tube how to do a bow knot. Why don't they put that in the instructions  - if there were any which there weren't.  The surprise was a very creepy spider - the like of which I'd never seen before AND that has been in my office for how long wrapped in the tent packaging?

I got the small birds at least today - not the woodpecker or the sparrow hawk but something on camera. My stealth tactics extraordinaire were although I didn't realise it fractionally hindered by Millie just lying with her ball outside the tent.
