Good Morning, it was cool and dry.

 The Heron was also waiting for the frogs behind the Top Lodge again

More open flowers on the Lesser Celandine - Ficaria verna

Still expecting the frogs as the weather is good this a favourite spot - The Channel from the Weir

Saturday 29 November

Yet again another good day

Tiny Fungi at the Slippery Log

 Winter Jasmine - Jasminum nudiflorum woven into the wreath at the carving

Winter Jasmine - Jasminum nudiflorum it's prolific and easy to propagate, I wonder why we don't see more of it as it brightens the winter months, it could be the lack of scent - certainly one for the garden.

Very mild this morning, plenty of birds about.

Great Tit on our feeding post.

Channel from the Weir to the Top Lodge

Nuthatch was busy he came down a few times

Well I could not count how many Charlie Robins came at one point at least 6 - then the fighting and chasing starts and the other birds get the food while - yes that's right Charlie and his fellow Robins get none :)

Here he is almost saying "oh no all gone again."
