Morning all, hope everyone had a lovely weekend.

Another year older and wiser @alp :D(y) Love the video clip , was that from yesterday? What a lovely way to celebrate your birthday!:). The little long tailed birds are Long Tailed Tits , we had loads at our feeders on Saturday....they always arrive in flocks! What was the last one...a Heron??I

Did a lot of potting up yesterday of my over wintering seedlings, one more tray to do today. Have sorted out the seeds to winter sow in the milk containers, so might make a start on them too!

Hope we all enjoy a Mild Monday!

Here's some pics, it's a bit windy so they might be a bit blurry.

Wiser! I wish! Grumpier more like it. Don't think there was any heron. That's a lovely garden centre. Bought a Bowl of Beauty peony for £4.99. Some irises for £2.99 each.

Mild but windy. Just sort out the inciinerator. Didn't really want to start a fire, but there is just so much to get rid of.

Yes ,as I said they tend to visit every now and then in large groups. You can always hear them before you see them!! They seem to gather in the trees...and then wait for all their friends to arrive before all landing on the birdfeeders . They are very pretty little birds....all fluffy and delicate looking.:)

Just had a second look.....no not a Heron!

Son said he saw a crested bird in among the reed bed. My camera was not powerful enough. We have to drive half an hour to the nursery. Really love that place.
