30th April 2024
Early morning visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs and a picnic at Cayton Bay on the way home.

1st May 2024
I photographed this artwork a few years ago and had no idea what the building was.
Today I had an appointment with a private osteopath and it turns out this is the back of the practice!

2nd May 2024
We had some lovely couples in the garden today.
Namely, the Pigeon pair using the bird bath as a hot tub and the Goldfinches feasting on our wild patch!

3rd May 2024
The Raspberries are on their way, the water butt is getting good use
and our one Solitary Bee who used our bee house has left the building!

4th May 2024
I love rain and watching the creatures who are out in it. 
I helped the caterpillar from the waterfall that is the side of the water butt to a plant though.

5th May 2024
Ring-necked Parakeets and Starlings feeding babies!
A morning spent bird watching from my garden for
Dawn Chorus Day yielded 18 species in 2 hours.

23rd April 2024
Back for some more inking and it was Jax's 5th Birthday too! 

24th April 2024
A Blackcap last week and Waxwings today?! Insane!
Filled out our postal votes today too.
And then our injured Starling entered the picture...

25th April 2024
Really enjoyed doing these tiny 216-piece jigsaws over the past couple of days!
After failing to capture the injured Starling yesterday and not wanting to cause it any extra stress or anything we decided to just keep an eye out.
It returned today, a great sign that it made it through the night, and it hung out in the Elder snacking on the food there most of the day. 
Today I also repotted my oak sapling, a hebe and potted some Pansys while the Dunnocks and Sparrows came to visit.

26th April 2024
Just appreciating the Spring blooms in our front garden before they disappear.
Starling friend was here for the 3rd day running and seemed much more energetic.
They still need a name...

27th April 2024
The first grass cut of the year has made the wild patch look even better!
It was day four of our Starling's return too, though a certain someone wanted in on the photoshoot too.
We also have a beautiful pair of Wood Pigeons visiting daily who are nesting in a tree out back <3

28th April 2024
I guess I got a little obsessed... 
Starling was back again on day 5 and despite the huge bald patch, the injured area is looking
much better and they seem much brighter in themselves. I hope they are going to do well.
