After being away and having internet problems in the hotel, I get home and I try to do a post and my net’s down. A bit annoying, back now so I can get my very small garden bird list up for the day, I was outside a fair bit today trying to get rid of horsetail weed and due to the internet being down in the afternoon, managed a few updates on saverscene UK and the Australian version such as a very helpful one for people that travel: travel insurance check that your credit card doesn’t already offer it: You may already have travel insurance on your credit card, no point paying an insurance company (now closed as I move into gardening as a profession) . Also spent the evening trying to burn cuttings from the garden due to getting rid of a lot of old wood and the council missing my green waste bin twice in the past month. I’d prefer to have the carbon back in the soil anyway, I would normally leave piles of branches to rot down naturally, however there were far too many due to the garden being neglected for years before we moved in. We’ve also not set up a good open compost for garden waste and only have a closed one for food scraps, once I’ve got that setup I hope not to need the council green collection and to get all the goodness back into the garden without resorting to burning it.
Anyway. Here’s my bird list for the day, sadly a bit short, but great to see the LTTs and the Bullfinch back:
- Blue Tit x 1
- Bullfinch x 1 – Male
- Carrion crow x 2
- Coal Tit x 2
- Dunnock x 3
- Long-tailed tit x 2
- Magpie x 1
- Woodpigeon x 1
