Day 12 of #30DaysWild

Finally put the pasta bowl on the patio & filled it with water for wildlife. Added a smooth brick pebble to create an island for insects to land & drink :)

Day 11 of #30DaysWild

Birding while out running errands:

Mallard duck flypast;
Male blackbird pulling worms then flying off with a beakful, presumably back to the nest;
Loads of slowly circling Red Kites;
Goldfinch twittery song twice;
Explosive wren song across the supermarket car park;
Couple of passing herring gulls.

All I did was look & listen out while doing weekly routine stuff.

Day 10 of #30DaysWild

Feeling better after a few days of bleurgh, I thought I'd catch the dusk chorus.

Sitting by the best window for this, nothing but magpies having a free and frank exchange of views. Oh, and the mew of a passing herring gull before the magpies resume their altercation.

Twenty days remain to catch the sweet song of the summer warblers.
