It is with great pleasure that I can report the fact that the Tawney Frogmouth has returned to build and use a nest in the big Ashtree above the little workshop. They used that site for several years but a couple of years ago the limb they had chosen to build on was brought down in a huge storm. They then built a nest not far away in a gumtree and raised a couple of chicks there for a couple of seasons. Then last year they went elsewhere and we did not see them for a while. So I was delighted to see on Friday when I was hanging out the washing, to see he was making a nest and yesterday he was sitting on it.
Underneath the tree is the little work shop which
has been humming with activity as the restoration of a 1923 Chevie little truck is in full swing. Two mates are busy now wondering why the motor just won't fully engage.....Is it the carburettor or the distributor which is at fault.....
Me thinks the dear little truck has been asleep for so long it doesn't want to wake up and face this modern technical world with its shiny gadgets and fast pace..... Endless fun and a great therapeutic exercise for warding off depressions....
Is the next photo a representation of a Covid cluster? Let me know what you think it may be....and remember to click on the photos to get a closer look....
