I thought I'd seen a kestrel too @Pat E. The three of them were swooping around on the lower slopes of a hill in Glen Lyon. That one sat on the stile on a deer fence, and was quite happy for me to take some pix. I didn't think any more about it until I put a photo on the wildlife thread here, and @Sheps told me it was a young merlin. The other two were probably the parents. They were quite red.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@Hostafan1 ......would like a light, so I can go out there and potter whatever time I get home. Thinking about shading blinds too. Definitely an underground water reservoir..... and not sure if I would use the window ledge type shelving as well as the staging 🤔. Decisions decisions. This is all being made possible by a legacy left to me by my favourite aunt and uncle. They were my gardening gurus ....so no doubt they will be whispering in my ear 😇😇
Just been out to pick raspberries and pears for breakfast .....feel like Barbara from the Good Life 😊

That's such a lovely way to spend your gift. I hope it gives so many years of pleasure.
We bought a solar powered light for our potager @Chicky. Yet to be installed but it works on a sensor so only comes on when I go down late to pick veg for dinner. That's the theory anyway.
Lovely way to spend a legacy. Enjoy.

I hope you have a lovely time choosing what to have in your GH, @chicky.
We have a new resident on the kitchen terrace. It's a small, slim, light brown bird with a slightly pink breast. I think it's a female linnet.
Another hot day today, badly need rain.
