Thankyou both for the kind words from two masters of the craft.

I thought I'd commented on this one, but obviously not, I think I was enjoying peeping through the grasses too much to write, superb sense of intimacy that gives the gurgling of the water a very personal music. (I'm pretty sure those words are meant to mean something, but I've had a very long day you see, trying to learn how to do a common bird census and finally seeing a rough legged buzzard.) Simpler words: beautiful and intimate.

Daydreaming

Thanks Nick, I thought I saw this on the sheer rockface in Norfolk. Then woke up.

Tell me this is at the end of your garden alongside the lovely watery waggy...

Lovely wallcreeper, and also how odd, because I thought I was dreaming when I saw one on the building opposite my window, but I wasn't - I added wallcreeper to my garden list yesterday morning (nearly dropped my morning tea and ciggy). Hope your dream comes true!

lovely - and well done Arthur on the drawing - well done Nick on the garden list. Hmm wallcreeper - I suppose it would sit nicely with my s-eo.

Not like some who just glance out of their window.

the top black redtsart and the sparrowhawk looking up are so real, incredibly good and very well observed - the black redstarts are back singing in town now, and quite welcome they are too!

Perfect way to brighten up a very rough day - cheers Arthur, just the ticket!

Great stuff Arthur. I wish I could say I had a regular sparrowhawk popping in to my garden. Sadly, (although not for my sparrows), I've only seen a spar in the garden 3 or 4 times in 10 years or so. They regularly fly over and they nest in the nearby woods but, for some reason they don't like my little patch. I reckon a spar in your inimitable style would be a good'un, something for the weekend maybe?
