No sightings today, though I did come across two Giant House Spiders Eratigena atrica in the outhouse. They are huge!!

Not for the squeamish a Giant House Spider. Another was lurking close by in the outhouse.

At long last a walk, albeit down to the back of the garden and back, but an opportunity to stretch my legs after being cooped up at home and in hospital since 19 Nov. I can't believe that's been 4 weeks.
Here are a few photos from the back garden, including one of the 12 Long-tailed Tits which passed through very quickly. All taken with an android phone. I should have brought my camera out.
This Oak tree is about the only tree in the garden still to have leaves on it. Albeit very brown and ready to drop soon.
In the wildflower patch these Alexanders Smyrnium olusatrum are coming on well and will hopefully provide insects an early feed in the Spring.

A very barren looking back garden.
One of the 12 Long-tailed Tits to pass through the garden.
Also in the wildflower patch was this Common Marigold Calendula officinalis
The Red Valerian Centranthus ruber is still in flower and surprisingly so...........
...........was this Iris Iridaceae sp.

Out and About.
At long last I'm on my way back home after an eventful 17 days at Dorchester County Hospital.
All is good and hopefully me and Ted will be back out walking again.
