This is our regular morning visitor. He arrives at half past eight and spends ten minutes hammering away at the peanuts. Sometimes he's joined on the tree by great, blue and crested tits, sparrows. crows, magpies, chaffinch, green finch, dunnocks and goldfinch whilst the robins and our chickens hover underneath for any messy eaters' leftovers.
An Autumn stroll before all the leaves have dropped....., frost has been forecast for next week and my last few tulips which arrived in the post last week have been planted up into large pots for moveable displays. We are getting through the wood at a rate of knots (wood, knots...., sorry for the pun) and Christmas is round the corner - the Christmas trees have taken over the garden centres. However, some of the Spring flowering bulbs, planted up in the pots, are already shooting through the soil. Life's a funny old thing, isn't it?
