That is an awesome view after a long day.
COLD DARK ROOM

I think she was upset with me because I haven't had to use very much of the knitwear she left for me. But now that it is getting colder by you guys hopefully she will be happy again. That is if she exists. Has anybody seen the snow leopard. I have seen the carrots disappearing but not the snow leopard. Sabine where are Willy and Silly ? Do you think that the One legged Pirate has them hostage somewhere?
Hmm. What a nice scene to wake up to.This my view. Breakfast in the conservatory, not quite light properly, with a view of the bird feeders

I have a question for you. I have two of those birds that I had in my picture on my walk the other day. It was the small one with the brown. Anyway these two live in my garden and every morning they keep on flying into my bedroom window. Over and over again. Why would they be doing that? Do you by any chance know?
Good Morning All
It is Thursday. Yayyyy. Sjoe but this week is going fast. Time is flying. Anyway I hope it is a fantastic day for everyone.

It's usually one of three reasons:
The first is territory. They see their reflection in the glass and think it is more birds trying to muscle in on their territory andtry to fight them off.
The second is that they can see the reflection of a plant in the glass and think they can land on it.
And the third is that they simply can't see the glass and are trying to fly into the room.
You buy stickers shaped like hawk silhouettes that you can stick to windows and that usually stop it. Small birds won't fly toward something that is likely to eat them!
I have stickers in some of my conservatory windows which reduces the number of birds that try to fly through the glass.
We once had a Dunnock, a small bird not unlike your Cape Sparrow, that spent about a fortnight on the kitchen window ledge singing at his reflection in the window. I think he thought he could see a female, the two sexes are alike, and was trying to woo her!

Ahh Okay the first reason makes sense. As they do it in the morning and as soon as I open my blinds they stop doing it. The problem is I cannot leave my blinds open while I am at work during the day, so I worry that they will carry on during the day. So I will just have to get some stickers to put on the window in question and hopefully that will stop it. As I don't want them to hurt themselves.
Thanks for the advice.
Have you seen the jellyfish tank where Adam shut the Leprechaun?!
He must have really upset the wool spider, if she exists, for her to do that!!! He isn’t getting out of there any time soon [emoji23]
Does it look anything like this around the tank?
If so, then she (If she exists) is really really very unset. Poor Leprechaun. I wonder if he has learned his lesson yet and if we can let him out? It must be torture to be left in there all this time with no company.
Spike can be pretty demanding
Whahaha. He looks bigger or is that just because the photo is a close up?
Wait!! That is not Spike . Whahaha - almost had me fooled.

Yep....No. 1 above is definitely a primary reason, coincidentally, I saw a Mocking Bird/Catbird doing this same exact thing yesterday against our neighbors car window. Over and over and over agsin, flying directly into the glass, sliding down, wing flapping, and then agsin. It all looks very silly!
G’day all.
The weather prognosticators are calling for our FIRST FROST of this Winter season for a wide swath in our area. Temps will dip down below freezing, tender plants will feel it! Hopefully it also triggers the trees to change into their nice golden and red colors.

- Soon time to bring our banana tree in for safe keeping through Winter. No more fresh leaves for Sully.
- I’ll try and capture before and after f r o s t pix. Elephant ears too. Summer = now over for sure.

Not a bad spot to birdwatch and enjoy your cuppa!
Yes it looked quite weird to me. Especially as it did not make sense to. Poor things. Both birds were taking turns doing it.
Morning All,
Completed my elliptical ride through the Cotswolds early, walked out into some crisp Autumnal fresh air, and this was “My Point of View” - Sunrise Through the Trees.

That is almost worth getting up early for.
.....and before I forget, an upward view into our banana grove. Their days are numbered.
Good idea. I will take my camera with me when I go out today.
Greetings from Denmark! I’ll be catching up with y’all in the next few days...
