New bird feeder has upset the goldfinches but not bothered the blue tits. Watched this little bird for ages this morning. It got one seed then flew to a different perch to eat it. Sunday 1st March – The goldfinches are now brave enough! Continue reading 28th Feb 2015 59/365
These photos were taken just with my iPhone on a walk around Canon Hall this afternoon. Although they are just grab shots I think they have real potential for the ‘Tree of life’ work which is connected to our Kenya trip. Continue reading 27th Feb 2015 58/365
Wednesday was a day spent in a primary school in Sheffield where the year 5 classes were giving me advice about our visit to Kenya – see separate blog post here https://theroadtokakuma.wordpress.com/ They were so thoughtful and even suggested I might like to take a camera which did make me smile! Wed saw a Tommy sleepover and a lovely day on Thursday. Continue reading 25th and 26th February 2015
