Oh dear, another week flown by. Last Monday I showed:



which was a corner of:



Very well done Kev Scott, Adrian and Dave who correctly identified it as a bath / shower mat. Ragged Robin and Wilma - I used to have a soap dish which looked something like that. I had forgotten all about it.

For the new mystery I have photographed part of .... what?

More Nest Box Inspections

Today was the fourth time Great Tits checked out the Nest Box. What surprised me was the Blue Tit which also visited a short while later. If the video appears to be greyed out it will still play. Seems to be a glitch with YouTube or Blogger.



I wonder how many other sites they are checking out before making a choice.

Nest Box Visitors

First - A short while ago I saw two Robins on the lawn. The male will usually attack and drive off any other male Robin intruders in his territory. Those two kept about six feet apart with no signs of aggression. A single Robin has been the first and last visitor to the bird table every day. About a week ago the camera caught two on there at the same time. Slight aggression but both fed at the same time. I hope this is a bonded pair who will nest nearby in the near future.



Now on to the nest box. On Sunday morning a pair of Great Tits came to investigate it. The box was also visited the following day.



Sunday was very overcast so the camera stayed in black and white. Monday was much brighter so a colour clip was captured.

Dwarf Iris

As we slowly head towards warmer weather the Dwarf Iris are putting on a colourful show:



As these are growing in a rather weed covered planter I colour popper them to lessen the distracting background.

Sunset

Colourful Sunset to start February.



Liked the way it was reflected on a window next door.
