Today I took some brighter pictures of the garden, including one of a Great Tit eating what appeared to be a caterpillar. You’ll have to take my word for that as it spent most of its time refusing to face me.

Great Tit at Mencap Gardens
When the Great Tits eat caterpillars. I feel that Spring is not far behind. Julia later saw a group of Long Tailed Tits on the feeders, though they flew away as she turned the camera on. They do that. Several Magpies took it in turns to contort their way into the fat ball feeder, but they also declined to pose for photographs.
Birds can be very annoying at times.
It was brighter today than it had been yesterday.

No light, no water, but we do have a heater in the cabin
The work routine is beginning to develop nicely – taking Julia to work and the driving back round the ring road to idle away my days. I went through the medal stock today, including medal-mounting accessories, foreign medals and ribbons. That took me all morning, as there was a lot of chaos to tame, and a lot of bits and pieces.
Fortunately, nothing is beyond the capabilities of a man with time on his hands and a selection of plastic bags.
Your first photo had the most amazing colors in it.
Thank you. π
That is a beautiful morning sky photo. The trees in the other shots look golden in that low-angled winter lighting.
It was a good sky for photographs. π
I like the picture of the Great Tit with grub!
It was a fortunate shot. In fact it was the only shot I got. π

Great skies. I’m pleased you are back handling medals
Thanks. Yes, it’s nice to be back in collectables. π
That’s the sort of man you need when there are medals to be sorted.
Onward ho!
:-).
