Back to Work

First day back at the office today, which was hard work, after the extended Easter break. Suggested that a standard weekend was not long enough to my boss and offered to be the Guinea Pig for a 3 day working week trial but he seemed remakably unsympathetic. No people skills at all!


Had lunch at Harrowbeer Airfield but not much there apart from a couple of Wagtails and the usual Jackdaws.


Sat in the Study at home early evening watching 3 Goldfinches having a drink at the pond watched by a solitary Song Thrush. I see a lot more birds in our small enclosed garden since I put in a second shallow pond which I would recommend, particularly to plonkers like me who build the first pond with steep sides all the way round.


Couldn't get a decent picture of the Goldfinches but tried the Lumix FZ35 (OK for landscapes not recommended for birds or insects)and got the backend of a Pigeon!  Perfect metaphor for today,noisey and a bit out of focus. Hopefully weekend will be better and might catch a few early Damsels.
