Bird watching

Posted on November 30, 2011 by Gary

It was a very busy day in the garden today. Not with me but with the birdlife. The morning was all bright and blue as I topped up the feed and set the tripod up. I then stood in the … Continue reading →

Going into rehab

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Gary

This was my view for a large chunk of the afternoon. The guy on the left kept making annoying grunting noises every few minutes, putting me off my book. I often wonder why people are unaware of the little noises … Continue reading →

Not a nuthatch today

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Gary

I bought a wireless remote for my camera the other day and it arrived this morning. I gave it a test run and all was working perfectly. After my usual morning shopping expedition, I set up the garden ready for … Continue reading →

Housebound

Posted on November 27, 2011 by Gary

Rather than staying in the house all day watching Carmen, I put her bucket on her head and went up to Farnham for a Starbucks. I’m really not made for being housebound. The highlight of my Starbucks visit was when … Continue reading →

Posted on November 26, 2011 by Gary

This morning was Carmen’s first post-op appointment with the vet. As Mirinda is staying in town this weekend, I had to think how to transport Carmen. After carrying her home last time and realising what a heavy lump she is, … Continue reading →

Playing nurse

Posted on November 24, 2011 by Gary

Last night, Carmen was so morose that I decided we’d all sleep in the lounge. In order to protect the cushions, I opened up a few garbage bags to put under the dog blanket. I needn’t have bothered. While she … Continue reading →

Poor Carmey

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Gary

First thing this morning I took Day-z for a walk up to the closest ATM in order to retrieve some funds, as I was running a bit low. I knew I’d be basically housebound once Carmen was home, so I … Continue reading →

Missing her sister

Posted on November 22, 2011 by Gary

There wasn’t a lot of action around the feeder today. Actually, there probably was but the fog made it difficult to see any action. I did manage a couple of shots though. To start with, here’s a cheeky blue tit. … Continue reading →

Feeling the strain

Posted on November 21, 2011 by Gary

I managed to (accidentally) get a shot of a coal tit this morning. These tiny fellows dart in and out so quick, you don’t usually see them at all. He almost looks like he’s smiling. When we went to Hankley … Continue reading →
