The view from my bed at 6 this morning as the first of our Blue Tit chicks fledged. Over the next half hour, with a bit of encouragement from the parents, 5 more left home. Put the box up a couple of years ago for sparrows, hasn't been used till the Blue Tits this year. Just out of sight to the right is a family of House Martins swooping in and out. When they've all gone I must clean the gutters etc!

Mrs KNWH in her Boxster enjoying the weather while it lasts.
Had it 19 years and it’s done less than 29k miles.
Annual road tax is £735, which seems ridiculous for the mileage she does.
Only taxing it for the sunnier months makes it slightly more bearable

North Pennines, Northumberland, a tremendous showing of Cotton Grass on the moors and fells this year, from a distance showing as huge swathes of white seemingly carpeting large areas. Photos taken this afternoon in SW Northumberland whilst out birding a few minutes from home.
