It was another day at home and a long overdue mowing session of the "meadow" in the back garden.
There were some good highlights today:
- A mouse caught on the Trail Camera
- Two flocks of Siskin, 15 in the first flock, followed by 7 in the following group a minute later.
- Plus presumably the "Cherry Tree" Robin from last year, which has taken up residence again for this coming Autumn/Winter spell.
