When the birds condescend to attend the bird table whilst I am watching it, it’s either the pigeons or the magpies first. Now, if it is the pigeons, they are a little bit hesitant, obviously mapping out the garden to make sure there is no risk to them. Now, they aren’t the most attractive ofContinue reading “126/366 Magpies & Ships”

124/366 Squirrel
This was around lunchtime. I’d put food on the table early, and hadn’t had a chance to check it, but it hadn’t taken the squirrel long to find it. I don’tthink the squirrel was there all morning, but it was still there at lunchtime. At first, it was on the table, and was being pesteredContinue reading “124/366 Squirrel”
120/366 The Bird Table
A problem is that there is little point having the motion sensor active because it picks up the movement of the leaves. It can’t distinguish between that and a squadron of starlings. Neos will let you define more precise zones for the camera, but like everything have to pay for it. I need to getContinue reading “120/366 The Bird Table”
114/366 The Starlings
Oh dear, what a dilemma. I am in the lucky position of having three blog posts lined up. It’s not that any one of them is time critical, it’s the excitement in the anticipation of writing them.

I haven’t quite worked out how to get photo’s from it to my collection – easy withContinue reading “12/365 The Bird Table Redux”
10/365 The Battle of Fallopia Balschuanica
For today’s tale, it helps if you are familiar with the lexicon of Star Trek, The Next Generation, for today I am relating to you the story of the Battle of Fallopia Balschuanica. Fallopia Balschuanica might sound like the name of a remote stellar system, but in reality it is a garden plant . LikeContinue reading “10/365 The Battle of Fallopia Balschuanica”
9/365 The Pumpkin Fairy
We have a pumpkin growing in the garden. We’ve had some marrows in the past that got to a reasonable size. I wonder how big this will get? It is always interesting to follow the progress of these things. I had to do a little bit of scrabbling around to get a picture. I wentContinue reading “9/365 The Pumpkin Fairy”
