Well that was a riot. Brilliant film, gorgeous music performed so well. If you get the chance to watch a movie with a live orchestra then do it. Such a great way to spend the evening #filmsky #moviesky #musicsky

It’s June 1st everyone. Pride Month bitches. I’m in charge now. Act accordingly #Pride

Think these are mostly Daphnia but they are loving the sun it seems

The number of invertebrates that have inhabited the barrel already is amazing. Lots of daphnia, larvae and the odd snail

They are very loud. I normally hear them before I see them

I’m going to bore you all eventually but here’s more rose-ringed parakeet action from my feeders. Between these and all the finches I’m getting through so many sunflower hearts #birdsky #naturesky #gardensky

He is very very pasty. Interested to see his first training session in the Barcelona sun

And of course the blackbirds are not far behind hoovering up the mealworms on the floor and taking them to a thicket of privet and ivy a couple of doors down the road…

And back again…

I’ve been putting the mealworms out twice a day and I swear the birds keep lookout. I’ll fill the tray and scatter some on the path and just sit in a nearby chair and wait. Guaranteed that within a minute or so someone will turn up.. This time it’s a great tit #birdsky #naturesky #gardensky

Change the word "love" to "lunch" in the title or lyric of a song. All you need is lunch…

The culprit:

The red legged partridges are pretty noisy tonight. It’s a weird call and much louder than my phone picks up #birdsky #gardensky #naturesky

My favourite actor, Peter Cushing, born on this day in 1913. An integral part of the British horror revival in the 50s, 60s and 70s plus a brilliant Holmes, the big screen Doctor and a Grand Moff to top it off. Brilliant #filmsky #horror #horrorsky #HammerHorror

The blackbirds absolutely love the live mealworms and waxworms I’ve been putting out. A few males visit, stuff their beaks then fly off to some equally enthusiastic chicks I assume #birdsky #naturesky #gardensky #UKGardening

I know they aren’t native and some people really don’t like them but I do and still get a thrill when the group of rose-ringed parakeets visit my garden. I normally hear them before I see them lol #birdsky #naturesky #gardensky #UKGardening

Surprisingly the Fred and Rose West salt and pepper shakers didnt do well on Bargain Hunt

Which the blackbirds are happily picking off….

Well the starlings have found the live mealworm bowl and are feasting on them. They are very messy feeders though and a lot end up falling into the path below….. #birdsky #naturesky #gardensky #UKGardening

Randy from South Park approves this message. Forever the trendsetter

The robins seem to watch me top up the mealworm/waxworm dish and so I waited a little bit with my phone and hey presto…… #birdsky #naturesky #gardensky #UKGardening #robin
