Beautiful morning. Tried to have a 30 minute lie in but no such luck – woken by pigeons thumping and flapping on the roof above the bedroom window – took this as a couple of heavy, corn-fed hints that certain birds want their brekkie and I’m running late!
Birds fed. Skim of ice removed from birdbath and water bowl. Magpie and squirrel both sneakily waited for the blinds to be closed while I did (what are laughingly called) my exercises before raiding the nut collection. Rotters!
