It's Stopped Raining!

Busy as ever here but I have managed to keep at least one eye on the garden this weekend in the welcome sunshine. We're getting regular visits from Magpies and lots of Jackdaws, House Sparrows appear to be nesting next door, Blue Tits keep popping in and now and again a Coal Tit and Great Tit shows up. Goldfinch seem to be present for most of the day as are the Woodpigeons and Collared Doves with Chaffinches coming in for loose sunflower hearts. Blackbirds have nested next door and the fledglings appeared in our garden last week. Finally a Dunnock has been singing away in the tree, lovely to hear.

Here are a few snaps taken over the weekend with my Pansonic TZ30.

We've not done any weeding this year yet and have a very good crop of dandelions, at least the bees are happy!
