Why?
Well I actually I got some paying work in this week.
Its been too cold as far as I am concerned to go traipsing over folks gardens. Even started work in a new garden and have more new ones to see, Buy with Confidence is starting to pay off. Could have too many gardens afore long but I have a plan for that. he said crossing his fingers.
Ecology work has started allbeit slowly again because of the weather, have set up a couple of sites for reptiles and got an initial bird survey in so far. Newts will have to wait a little bit longer in my book, just a few more degrees at night please.
Then some storytelling a couple of nights ago to a really good and numerous audience that produced some great comments afterwards.Not one of my usual groups but a possible new angle to follow up on.
Finally a bird sighting this week that I thought would never happen, Waxwings in Cambridge, nothing too surprising there you might say they have been all over. over the years though I have always seemed to miss them, not this time. Visiting another new garden and I hear there are there, I smiled they will have left by the time I get there and yes they have, but then, look there they are 31 of the little beauties feeding on mistletoe berries and apples put on the ground and bathing in a bird bath. Lovely views of lovely birds in a new garden. An omen perhaps?
