LTT's and Blossom

This weekend has been quite interesting, mainly because of the crazy weather today. Blinding sunshine, closely followed by teeming rain intermittently and then onto Hail around an hour ago and now we’re back to sunshine.

It is rather chilly outside though, I’d assumed it would be ok to go for a potter around the garden checking on the Daffodils – well I soon changed my mind on that one and scurried back inside :D

On Saturday I had noticed some LTT’s visiting, nothing too exciting as they do visit from time to time, only I then saw them another three times within the hour and today I’ve seen then numerous times. So that’s very exciting and I hope they’re nesting in the area – even more exciting if they were different pairs visiting!

(very tough taking photos, with the bright sun and dark background. The Blossom is a little bit over exposed unfortunately)

And now onto the blossom photos I didn’t post last week, this crazy tree has been flowering since at least October but more recently there are far more flowers...

Odd morning.

Ok, so perhaps not the most exciting story on the Earth, but:

Walking to work this morning, I often hear birds singing/calling.

I could hear tits either side of me, and was just beginning to consider why birds still alarm call at Humans, even though it's highly unlikely we'll ever catch one(unless you have a gun)...

Suddenly I notice that the calling is very loud in my ear, this continues for a distance and I begin to think to myself:

"Shouldn't that have quietened by now since I walked past the birds?"

I look to my side and there's a flock of tits, following me through the hedges! I stop to look at a LTT, it perches and calls at me. Other tits join it, I assume Blue tits but they were silhouetted against the sun.

Then I move on and they continue to also move. Eventually the hedging ends and their calls fade into the distance.

Very strange! :D

Just wish they were in my garden instead!
