Sightings from Lockdown

Back on the 19th April we mentioned the little Redstart which was sitting on a nest which they'd made on top of our security light above our entrance.  A week ago the parents began flying in and out with food and I could see 3 chicks.

Today, one week later, the parents are still hard at it and the chicks are now adolescents.

Other than that we've gardened ... now is that a surprise?
We've planted up a bit more of the Exotic bed and I had some good cardio-vascular exercise bringing bags of sand from the barn to freshen up the surface of the bed.

and no, that wasn't some old hippy we'd enticed over from San Francisco!

PS Update!  Look who was looking at the big wide world the next morning ...

 ... we grow up quickly here!

Due to 'popular demand' we have made another video of the Garden :-

Mais aussi nous avons préparé un video d'une visite du jardin avec des commentaires en français :-
