GARDEN TICK
Yes I'm back in sunny Somerset for a short while and it has rained everyday since I got back! I thought that the UK was having a summer this year??
Anyway, I am waiting for my new passport to arrive so that I can get back to the sunshine.
At our flat near Yeovil we have a small garden that overlooks a meadow and it attracts a few birds, I glanced out of the window this afternoon and low and behold there was a male COMMON REDSTART sitting on my bench in the middle of the lawn.
Wow what a stunner and a superb 'garden tick' , of course I tried to photograph the little beauty but a Robin was having none of it and chased the Redstart off. Over the next hour or so the bird came back 3 more times but was very flighty, then the rain came down even harder and the bird disappeared
