Another busy day on the boat and the good news is the radio now works. Apparently there was water in the cable of the old aerial which had to be replaced. I also managed to get the Garmin Fishfinder to work, which is good news, as it also gives you the depth under the boat. The transducer which is normally attached under the boat was actually next to the bilge pump and had broken away. So a bit of a clean up and reattachment to the hull and that also works now. Happy Days. Unfortunately the bilge pump and sensor I had fitted by a local marine engineer company, doesn't work and there is a huge amount water at the bow end of the boat. So hopefully they'll be out on Monday to fix it.
So the bird watching today was centred around the back garden with good numbers of birds on the feeders, which included Greenfinches, Goldfinches, Chaffinches, House Sparrows, Great Tits and Blue Tits. On the lawn was a Dunnock, Robin and 2 Blackbirds. In the neighbours garden were 2 Redwing and a Song Thrush.
Not wanting to miss out, the Grey Squirrel was back.
Here are a few images from today with an apology about the poor quality. I'm still using my back up camera which is really naff in low-light conditions, but the good news is I pick up my new one tomorrow.
.........on this one before going back to the other one. Ingenious.
Here are two Great Tits and a Greenfinch.
And finally 3 Greenfinches with a male House Sparrow.
