Weather

Overnight showers, star lite sky, cooler and damp, heard skeins of geese overhead at 6 ish, pink foot  grey lag ?
Boaby

Nice sunny morning no wind down to 9 degrees last night. Off to the beach with the van today
Why do people have to light smoky bonfires on days like today!

Grey horrible stinky rain. The end

Cool starlite morning at 5 , with some sea fret blowing in, sun trying to break through.
Boaby

Like Boaby, lovely starlight night and now sun trying hard, looks like a dry day ahead but then it is all changing. Easterly wind has been a blessing as it blows the millions of leaves back in to the adjoining woodland but from tomorrow the prevailing SW returns which means back to hours of blowing and picking up. Used to take them all down to the recycling centre in one ton bags a dozen at a time in the trailer but have now 'acquired' a piece of adjacent land which was previously unregistered where they all get dumped... saves hours, fuel and does the ground good so a win win

Actually turned out better than expected GH, we had a great wood walk through Sewerby gardens, lots of t i t s ,blue ones too, Mistle thrushes crumbing around leave drop.
Tag is cream crackered after running on a long lead for ages, chasing grey squirrels.
Boaby

Heavy overnight rain delayed dog walk till 6.30, really soggy with tons of wet leaves on the deck.
Blackies enjoying the bonanza of worms coming to the surface.
Have a nice day.

What time are you getting light these days Boaby, is it still dark at 0630 your side of the country?

Rained overnight here too but sunny skies now and a stiff southerly blowing, all local ferries are cancelled as it is a bit narly out there.
Pair of green woodpeckers on the feeders early this morning, still not so many small birds though, haven't seen a wagtail or finch around for ages yet there used to be so many?

Another dull damp day here but drying up (allegedly ) Improving
over the next few days according to the forecasts then back into the old routine. Ho hum

Still dark at 6.30 this morning,mind it was heavily overcast, rain eased of , clouds cleared to reveal blue sky.
Many of our birds have headed for the hedges and woods., great,blue t I t s in the garden ,plenty of goldies.
Boaby

Overnight showers, mild SW breeze, still patch black outside, carnt see any stars,so it must be overcast.
Robins out ,shorter walk this morning.
Boaby

Rain overnight here too, overcast morning but threatening to be better this afternoon. Tomorrow looks much better so may be a trip out in the van locally.

Heavy coastal fret came down early morning,really dreich,not nice.

He's taken a real dislike to the mud GH, Maisie used to love digging out mole hills, Tag avoids them.  
We have to take a washing up bowl ,water and towels to wash and dry his feet.
I like to dry him off well ,due to any Alabama foot rot that may be in the area.  
Dried up now,but misty.
Boaby

Star lite sky this morning. Evidence of showers overnight, still mild with sea breeze.
Have a nice day.
Boaby

Showers clearing now but overcast, no wind. A morning for getting in the cupboard to clean the filters on the hot water pump in the house then when that is done maybe give the van its weekly bath! Stay safe 

Wet overnight in the Borders but a beautiful autumn morning with sunlight showing through the mist and hitting the trees. Showers forecast for later with more wind and rain tomorrow. That's British weather for you 

Nice clear blue sky ,chilly breeze,even with the sun out, lots of wee birds dukeing around the hedges in the garden. Blackies love the cotton eater berries.
Have a nice day.
Boaby

Chilly first frost of this October,clear starlite sky , lots of Fieldfares and Redwings in the berries trees, 
Looks like we're in for a nice day.  
Boaby

It’s absolutely bouncing it down here, no moon no stars very dark

Still dark when we left home this morning for shopping, 13 degrees and dry, forecast a bit of sun later then rain again with a turbulent weekend. It is raining leaves though!

Clouds have rolled in since 6 , still on the cool side. Plenty leaves GH, filled the brown bin yesterday, going to have to jump inside the bin to flatten the leaves down , ready for more.
Have a nice day.

Without doubt Boaby the next time we move house it will be to somewhere without a load of trees in the garden. We have a tree preservation order on our property and later today the TPO man is coming to tell us if we can take down a poorly ash tree which makes a huge mess. Keeping our fingers crossed.
On the bird front really don't know what is going on, we have peanuts, mixed grain. fat balls, niger seeds all out on the feeders but very few takers. I would have thought by now there would have been many more visitors, maybe they are all self isolating?
On the plus side lots quite a few different geese flying overhead to the river and there is a very vocal owl close by.
I will put fresh food out again today see if it makes any difference.

Same here with the bird feeders ,not many birds at all compared to last year, but there was a large rat swinging on the fat ball feeder having his breakfast this morning
