Rare Bird Alert News
PACIFIC SWIFT by cliffs just north of Virkie.
Quail singing at Loch of Hillwell.
At last a sunny day whilst I was at work, so it was nice to see the glittering sea from the hospital windows! Unprecedentedly
busy at work, so had no energy to do all the decorating I should be
doing in the evenings, so it will be hard at it on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. No heatwave forecast here thank goodness.
My lovely red rose bush (which I think is called "Sealed with a Kiss"), which I dug up from my garden in Norfolk and put in a huge pot, has loads of buds and two roses out just come out into flower and looking the best ever, so along with the fragrant smell of this and the huge existing Mock Orange Shrub in the front garden, its all smelling very fragrant and the bees seem to be happy in my garden too, especially with the newly planted borage in the driveway and my new "Big Blue" Sea Holly and my herbs etc. I have spent so many pennies at Planticrub Garden Centre to get my garden established, I don't think I need to visit until 2025!
Lots
of families of House Sparrows and juv Starlings stripping my bird
feeders and a couple of Siskins yesterday – can't keep up with them! My latest fun additions to the garden include a cheeky smiling upside down gnome hanging from a swing in the large sycamore, to amuse folk accessing Gallow Hill and in the front garden a laying down on his belly birdwatching gnome which I love, some cute bunnies, couple of fairies on a seasaw, some reflection stainless steel balls and a Canary positioned in a shrub in pot – all good fun and adds to amusement to the garden!
