A Shoulder to Cry On

A lot less violent weather wise but a great deal cooler, at just +4°C, but nonetheless still they come, but not before looking through the window to find a murky

GREEN WOODPECKER
feeding voraciously and
captured through the glass.
Nothing to add to the Year List but just the fact that we are still catching starts the day in the right direction with
first on parade
GREEN BRINDLED CRESCENT
the ubiquitous
BEADED CHESTNUT
another
BLAIR'S SHOULDER-KNOT
this tiny but rather nifty
SNAIL
and equally this beautifully marked
FLY
It was almost as if not needing to move from the homestead as soon after the traps had been cleared that these 2
GREY SQUIRRELs
appeared
and started performing
right before our eyes,
and as if that were not enough
a seemingly loan and most vocal
SISKIN
cut across the leaden sky and about to continue our recce of the previous day a
MERLIN
of unfortunately the none feathered kind
cut across the same dreary skyscape.
Unfortunately, from more northerly climbs all that could be added to the
Welcome Home List
was the long staying
female
TUFTED DUCK
BUT ALWAYS BELIEVE THERE WILL BE MORE TOMORROW!
