Crazy Nest Site

We often get birds nesting in the garden, in bushes, in the woodshed, even in the Ceanothus under kitchen window.

However this year a black bird has chosen a very strange site. She's nesting on top of the gas tank round the back of the house. I guess it's a perfect site as it's very secluded and the gas tank is too smooth for any critter to climb up. Just seems  a very weird site.

First the Pine Marten discovered the feeder intended for the red squirrels (see previous post) and he's now a regular visitor (if you're booked to stay with us in the next couple of weeks be sure to ask if you'd like to see him).

Now the red squirrels have decided to move on to the peanut feeder intended for the birds.

It's not that the pine marten have scared the red squirrels off their feeder, they're on it every day as well and we keep it topped up, it's just that some squirrels seem to relish the challenge of hanging upside down trying to pull peanuts out through the wire.

Duck On The Garage Roof

Took him a while to work out how to get off again, having trouble taking off along a narrow ridge, but he managed it eventually.

Visit To Glen Nevis

We had friends here for the weekend from Atlanta, so we went to Glen Nevis for the day.

The weather was beautiful, so warm in fact that we went swimming in the river.

We took a picnic with us and layed out our blanket by the river.

It was a perfect day.
