This morning I got everything ready to go and sit in the summer house for an hour to do the RSPB annual bird count. I did take the camera out but had the doors closed so not great and anyway I needed to concentrate on the counting! One of my friend the pheasant and one that believe it or not was a long tailed tit!
At one point there were three long tailed tits on that feeder, hopefully they will arrive again.
This afternoon I got a stamp set out that I bought a while ago. It has three different butterfly stamps that you can overprint on each other, quite a challenge lining them up but I think the result is good.
I made one card up which I am pleased with, nice stamps to use.
That was a success, trying to make scones the Mary Berry was wasn’t! Such a shame as I was making them for Darren to take along to his archery competition tomorrow, will make some my way next time!
At least the weather was ok for the bird count today. You have a great garden for doing that as you get a good selection of birds visiting. The pheasant has some great colours. As for the long tailed tit, I’ll take your word for it. I can see it has a long tail and it’s got way too much energy to be flapping that fast. Those fat balls are obviously good fuel!
ReplyDeleteThat’s a lovely set of stamps, and it looks pretty well lined up to me. You’ve obviously kept reasonably busy today including the cooking. Don’t know why you bothered with Mary Berry’s scones as yours are always extremely good. All those poor archers will be sconeless now 😊
The weather was dry but overcast, but good for spotting the birds. Saw most of the regulars which was good.
ReplyDeleteThe stamps looked interesting when I saw them and I enjoyed trying them out. Need to get a bit mentally active again and stop feeling sorry for myself!
