It was a day of catching up on garden jobs I have neglected over the past few days. It was also an opportunity to give a Ted another day at home to recover from his trip to the Dentist 2 days ago. However as you will see below, his recovery is doing well.
Not many highlights from the garden, but there was at least 1 Chiffchaff calling in the neighbours garden and 2 Siskins flew over the Cottage.
The Ivy Bees are still active on the Ivy, though their numbers are dwindling.

Well it looks like Ted is feeling a whole lot better after his ordeal at the dentist on Wednesday.
