And The birds came in two by two.

What a glorious day today. Just right to do the long awaited jobs around our bungalow. With us not leaving for Trent Lock and Kingfishers dry dock to black FP's bottom until next Thursday, Ian been getting down and dirty by clearing the gutters of a mountain of ash seeds, leaves and moss while I have been treating the pergola with wood preserve and getting more over me then on the wood! Deciding on a break after lunch I took Woofit out along the canal to the river. During my walk I took these photos.

Is that me mum?

I'm listening

A reluctant mum leaving the nest

Bit of house work

 

Two herons flew by

And the buzzard pair overhead

 Isn't spring wonderful. A Robin is also building its nest in our Yucca plant. So far no photos of it carrying the nesting materials but I'm going to keep trying.
