Wings on Wednesday G-BVDC and a Dunnock

Heard a light aircraft nearby yesterday so rushed out with the Canon. It was a Van's RV-3 kit aircraft dating from 1994. This monoplane is a single seater and capable of speeds in excess of 200mph with a 150hp engine. It can carry about 30 gallons of fuel giving a range of 600 miles.

Several birds seen in the garden yesterday including a Crow, a couple of Magpies, a couple of Great Tits and a Blue Tit but only one of the regular Dunnocks hung around long enough for a photo session.

The array of blunt plastic spikes are to discourage the local cats from getting too close to the camera nestbox which is below them.

    Adrian: Cloud forecast yesterday - lovely sunny day. Sun forecast today - cold, dull, miserable. When with the forecasters stop lying about our weather?
