As I want my garden to attract wildlife, I've done all the right things, like building a small woodpile, maintaining a compost heap, buying a beebox, planting borage for bumblebees, clover for honeybees, berry bushes for the birds and buddleia for the butterflies. I leave dandelions and other weeds not because I'm lazy (honest) but because they provide nectar for honeybees.
So that larger birds wouldn't scare away smaller ones, I bought a special bird feeder from the RSPB. It's supposed to be impossible for anything other than small birds to get into it to feed and usually bluetits, coaltits, sparrows etc dine there.
But look who came for dinner last Friday.

I've got a baby crow in my garden. I think it's from the family that always nest in a tree across the road and it's been in the garden since very early this morning. Its parents are cawing loudly from my roof and from another tree right outside my fence.
I checked the RSPB website and it says baby birds often spend a day or two on the ground when they're first learning to fly so just to let it be.
I scared the little fellow when I went into the garden to see what all the noise was about and s/he tried to fly away from me but couldn't get higher than about a metre off the ground.
Mum and Dad threw a wobbly at me, sounding extremely angry that I'd frightened their baby, as well they might.
Life in London is never dull for wildlife.
Please pray with me that the little guy will get off the ground safely before the cats from numbers 6 and 8 come ahunting.
The baby crow escaped safely in the late afternoon.

How delicate this web is and how attractive this spider's stripes. Seen in my garden this afternoon.

Smeagologists

Once someone asked me “What is a Smeagologist?” My reply was simply, “Whatever you want it to be!” Seeing as I invented the name, I think I have a right to decide that it be a neutral term that is based roughly upon one’s emergence in a society that is progressively reductionist and bordering on Nihilism on one side and Contemplation on the other, I prefer the Contemplative side but attend most vigorously to the other seeing as our pale blue dot is gradually disappearing and who knows one day…See More

I ask for your prayers.

On Wednesday my mother died. My sister and I were there. We prayed again with our mother. Then she fell asleep peacefully in the arms of my sister. Our pastor arrived a short time later. He spoke again the blessing over our mother. The funeral will be next Friday. I ask for your prayers for our mother and us, in this time of parting.See More

Jumping in Bacton Wood

It's so great to be able to jump after so many years of walking and sitting and standing. LOL
