AKA - (Six acres and not a clue!) My personal diary of the comings and goings of wildlife during the development of my little piece of England. '...There shall be in that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam; A body of England’s, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.' (R. Brooke)

Blue and Long Tailed Tits were out today.
Dinah Beautiful Blue...
Dinah and the beautiful blue
In the fields
They will sing for hours
Dinah and the beautiful blue
Letting through
All the hidden powers
Dinah and the beautiful blue
With the force
Of a million lifetimes
Dinah to the beautiful blue
Bring me love
Make me smile again
(Song by Anywhen).
The beautiful yellow waistcoat of this bird magically matches the yellow lichen on the stems of the viburnum shrub in which it pauses, ready to return to the freshly stocked bird feeder situated just a few meters away.
