It was the week of heat one of the primary schools nature quiz, and Sue was team manager. They camme second but none of it can be held at the door of herself who moved heaven and earth as part of her preparation for this event - the number of flash cards and information sheets she's made and the time she put in working with the kids was epic. They're hoping they may get through to the next round as a highest scoring loser as they did really well.
The feeder visitors this week have included a lot of house sparrows, which also love those fat balls with insect bits in them. We need to be nice to sparrows these days as they're not as numerous as they were when I was younger - we used to have one of the old fashioned red nets full of peanuts and it was usually covered in sparrows. The long-tailed tits have been around a lot, as have blue tits and great tits. I'm hoping for use of the nestboxes this year!
