Common garage car park stuff
Blue Tits using the nest box behind the garage car park
Dunnock up singing
Collared Doves active and noisy
Another cracking spring like day with plenty bird activity around the garage with Robins, Dunnocks, Blackbirds,Blue Tits, Collared Doves and corvids all displaying and showing signs of spring.
No chance for checking any of the local hot spots at lunch time due to our first trip to St James at Leeds to have Lyndas radio therapy mask made plus a scan followed by tranquilizers for me after driving back in the tea time rush.
Thanks to all for directions, especially Grahams left at the lights for the multi story which was very helpful although it was that full another floor up and I,d have been parked by the helicopter on the heli pad.
Good news though that the op was a complete success and surgeons had removed all visible traces of cancer and the radio therapy will blitz any unseen cells so sounding good.
Start going on March 18th every day for six and a half weeks, lovely!
Well done to NK for picking out 2pr Wigeon on the NK pond at Soil Hill, a site first.
