End of April notes

The end of April has not been fantastic weather at all. 

What's my cover doing here?

It has rained a lot and we have been stuck inside rather than get soaked!

I'm sure there's something in here

However, yesterday achieved one black redstart and another mouse

caught but eventually released to live another day.  Today is better

and the outlook is improving.  We all hope May will be fine and sunny as we have guests!

14th April. 2015

Mid April and the temperature has risen to over 30 degrees,  The sun is up and the days are lengthening.   The birds are twittering, but not on the internet yet, and the blackcaps are back from Africa along with the black redstarts!  Evening recreation is confined to the numerous types of mice.  Three in the last three days and here is the last

before he returned to the wild!  It is certainly a bit too hot for extraneous exercise during the day but the plants have to get watered and the grass mown – ho hum it’s all go here,

5th April 2015

Back to wet wet wet again.  However, we have had a visitor

who has left us evidence of his visit!

I will keep a lookout for him.

Second Fool's day

Well this one was very definitely a bit short on the grey matter.

April's |Fools Day

It's the first of April and spring has sprung.  The black redstarts have returned from Africa and are perching on all the poles and  trees!  I wonder what they make of the improvements since they were last here.  More trees to sharpen my claws upon! The warn weather is back, even if a little damp!  We will see if the mouses are around.  The lizards are too slow and easy prey.  Back to the hunt,
