Had to bury a dead wood pigeon which had apparently flown into the window of the church, being able to see through to the other side the poor thing thought it had clear passage. According to the lady next door to the church, it may well have been in panic mode, as the sparrowhawk has been active recently taking prey from her garden. Right enough, there is another suspicious looking pile of pigeon feathers near the potager garden.
The sunflowers several of us planted this summer now have seen ripening. If we aren’t too quick to tidy them up, the seeds will provide valuable food for garden birds, and maybe attract them into the grounds. It is still a bit of a green desert, but tree and orchard planting is going to happen next month, and that should change the shape of things….
Meanwhile, at the inaugural Tai Chi class in the Auchtergaven room, there was another march-past of those black beetles (we had the doors open due to the Indian Summer, now largely passed). They really DO want to come in!
