Siberian Chiffchaff at Hillend, Mid Yell, Yell.
The weather was the opposite to yesterday, sunshine all day, no wind at all and no rain, but chilly. Looked for the King Eider (fem.) but no sign this afternoon. Biggest count of Blackbirds in my garden late afternoon feeding on the two halves of apple I put out, 1 male and 4 females and my Robin, along with the usual Starlings, House Sparrows and Collared Doves.
Very busy weekend before I return to work on Monday. Yesterday I put up some pine garlands which I bought from "Heima" – artificial, but real cones. I have put these up with the fairy lights on the lowered ceiling section in the dining, it wasn't easy but they are up. Very pleased with my efforts and it reminds me of the pines at Holme – I have decided its staying up permanently, which is why I didn't choose the obvious Christmas themed ones, which included mistletoe and berries. I also purchased two gorgeous berry and glass battery lights from Heima which I have randomally placed along the two sideboards in the corridor – everything you buy from that shop is top quality. I have finally started putting all my paintings on the walls and tomorrow I want to get the main Christmas tree out of the shed and start and finish decorating by the end of the day!
