Cheeky Nutkins!!

Last year I kept my bird feeders up all Summer and it cost me a fortune.
In the new place, apart from the greedy pigeons, numbers are lower so food lasts longer., so I will probably feed through the Summer again.
This is good news if your name is Cheeky Nutkins - the pole dancing squirrel.

Bluebells

Spring has taken a month longer to arrive this year?

Bluebell woods are normally seen in April, but this year I didn't see my first bluebell until the beginning of May! Even this time last week - there was hardly any locally. Then everything changed, seemingly overnight.

Bowdown Woods in Greenham has exploded in bluebells and smells amazing too. Definitely worth a look if you are local.

I was there pretty early in the morning. In hindsight I think a trip when the sun is higher will prove worthwhile.
