Lifting the lid

[shewhomust]

Almost a month ago, I posted about the daily photos sent out by the Head Gardener of the Botanic Gardens. Today's picture comes with a note:

We have been topping the bird feeders up daily, much to the satisfaction of our resident pheasant and ducks.

A while ago now I lifted the lid on the metal storage bin where we keep the seed, so the other picture I am sending you is of something which managed to lift the lid on the food store then jump inside to grab a bite to eat. The lid fell shut on it, so it was not released until I opened the lid on the store the next morning, but it was fast asleep so there was time to take a pic...

You get a better class of infestation at the Botanic Gardens -

That's Day 31. 31 days, a whole month.

Aw!

I just read the entry on hedging and gosh, I had no idea I was so interested in the subject. But because I've watched all those BBC 2 historic farm series in which they lay hedges in "1620" and also Victorian and Edwardian times it seems I've learned to admire a good hedge laying. It's quite a job!

Will follow the blog from now on, it's a good one. And a big awwww to the visitor to the bin. ;)

It's not as pretty a garden as some of the ones you photograph, but it's very educational!

Aw!

I'm glad the lid didn't have a tight seal; I feared a different outcome until I got to the end of that sentence.

I can't promise you a relentlessly feel-good journal, but I can guarantee there will be no gratuitously sad animal stories!
