Dry here at last but I don't think it'll be that way all day.
Wood's been delivered so I'll try and open it and bring it all round to back garden later
Not heard any owls here - we used to have one at last house. They're beautiful when you see them close up. I do seem to have a bat here though. He was a regular little visitor in the late summer. Did you decide on your pyracantha chicky? I love them and round here there are loads spilling out from gardens and at field edges just laden with berries.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hoping to get outside and do some tidying up later,a few things need some attention,cutting down and tying up.Still have Cosmos Purity in flower,it has been out for such a long time,and still has plenty of buds.Nastursiums climbing around by the kitchen window are providing a real splash of colour.
Morning all. Terrible nights sleep and now a bit behind today. Good job not going to work!!! Just started to rain here so looks like I won't be getting last few bits done in garden today. Grass needs raking of acorns AGAIN, ive never seen so many either! ! Off to gc to grab a few last bits if poss. See you all later byeeeee!!!
Verdun. the stream is great. Most of the year there is just a relaxing burbling sound. At the moment though it sounds like an aircraft is about to take off.
In the summer we usually get a few small brook trout which i feed with the odd worm.
The pond which is fed by the stream is very overgrown with reeds and bullrushes. I need to get in there before winter. It attracts a great variety of birds incudinf; a regularly visiting heron, mallards, moorhens and very rarely mandarin ducks. The first time I saw these I thought Id been on the magic mushrooms. They were just so unexpected. The best siteing yet was during the very cold winter 2 years ago when OH was looking out the bedroom window. She called out to say there was an odd bird in the pond. I got the binoculars and...... a Water Rail.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Does it just run through your garden , punkdoc, or do you divert some for a pond?
I tried to have a little artificial stream with my pond, but the water loss in summer was huge.
