We have comings and goings, always have done. Our garden was full of birds, went away for a three week spell (feeders not refilled) came back about 10 days ago. Garden still empty having cleaned and refilled. Our friends garden on the other side of the town is full of them. Quality of available food can also attract them elsewhere. They will stay with a regular and reliable food source and slowly return as and when essential. Have faith. However they do need our help as our wildlife in general is suffering due to many factors, most caused by us. The grass may just be greener the other side of the fence at present.

The site we are on at present has a couple bird feeding stations and they have been in position for years, and are very well populate. The usual Tits, including Longtails, Tree Sparrows and Great Spotted Woodpeckers are regular visitors, along with the occasional Siskins. There are also Tawny Owls in the trees around the site and the other night, while out for our last walk, I heard and then saw at least 2 foxes watching us from a distance.

On a CS last week and spotted a pair of green woodpeckers, spotted woodpecker, Jay, red kit and moorhens on the lakes.
The site owners all black cat called zeus was the size if a young black panther if that counts, probably why we saw no rabbits!
Currently at Dulverton and seen only the odd blackbird.

I used to be in awe of such heavenly sights, sadly my eyesight isn’t what it used to be, nor do we seem to get those clear nights when countless stars and planets studded the vista. Make you realise how amazing ‘things’ (lost for the right word) are. We are here for only the minuscule micro moment in celestial terms but sadly what damage we can do to our own planet and the life on board,
