Nice one. We used to get regular visits from one... sometimes a pair. Then nothing for a while and then the male returned.....then disappeared. Not seen them for 2 years now.

Coincidentally I saw a Great Spotted Woodpecker in my garden a couple of days ago. The first I've seen since moving here about 18 years ago. I still haven't managed to see the Tawny Owls that live here. Hear them a lot, even in the tree in the garden....but never seen them

I keep rare breeds. What is the one on the wheel?

Saw two in the garden earlier, one was checking out the ivy covered fence as a potential nesting site, last time they used that spot it didn't end well, despite putting up two robin friendly boxes they prefer to build the nest next to them instead of in them.

We think it is an Ayam Cemani, they lay really nice dark shelled eggs.
The cockerel is possibly a Polish but we also think it could be a Houdan.

When I used to keep Polish bantams they were little buggers!
Couldn’t get them locked up at night, they’d be up the top of a 40’ conifer!

My little terror is good and just follows his girls but he does love pecking shoes for some reason

My neighbour told me that there was a pod of about fifty dolphins leaping and catching mackerel off Turnaware Point this afternoon. He tried to contact me but, unfortunately, I was busy buying a bargain pack of 24 bog rolls in ASDA. They come with the rising tide (the dolphins, not the bog rolls) . Perhaps we will see them on Wednesday, about an hour later.
