To my frustration I had to do a third coat of paint on the bathroom walls early morning. My electrician turned up just before 9am and installed the last two radiators and also put up a irregular shaped mirror I purchased for the bathroom. Hairdressing appointment later on. The Leucistic House Sparrow was back in the garden again, along with 60+ House Sparrows, Starlings, Collared Doves and Rock Doves. I was hoping for a Hawfinch, not yet! My electrician is going to get back to me with a quote for doing an outside sensor floodlight, set up on the outside of the shed nearest to the drive.
