Thursday and Friday were two lovely warm and sunny June days. A nice change from the cool and windy weather of earlier in the month.
We made the most of the fine weather with a visit to the plot on Thursday to plant out our runner beans, climbing French beans and sweetcorn.
While we were having a well earned cup of coffee we spotted a wren flitting about in our redcurrant bushes. Unusually for a wren it perched on top of a fence post long enough for us to get some decent photos.
I did have a little bit of a concern that it might get trapped in the redcurrant bushed once our netting is in place to stop the blackbirds raiding the ripening berries. My concerns were soon dismissed as I saw this tiny little bird fly through the chicken mesh netting with no problems at all. A reminder of just how tiny this bird is.
Friday turned out to be the warmer of the two days and we paid a visit to RSPB Old Moor.
This lapwing was having a bad hair day or perhaps it was drying off after a bath.

Your beanpoles are immaculately done, I'm very impressed. I have another row of them to do at the plot soon for some climbing French beans. Lovely bird photos.
ReplyDeleteI think my beanpoles look better on the photo than in real life.
DeleteI use the same system for growing climbing beans. Some of my Runners have climbed halfway up the 8-foot poles now.
ReplyDeleteHad I planted my runners out any early they'd have been set back by the cold easterly winds we've been having. Hope they wont get any set backs now!
