Good afternooning all. I spent today in the garden. I cleaned out the bird nest boxes ready for the winter. The bluetit camera box had a nest that was never finished. The great tit box had two dead chicks that were clearly only a day or two from fledging when they died :(

A scientist at the University of Sussex has asked for nests to be sent to her as she is studying the impact of pesticides on nesting birds, so both have been packed up and are ready to post.

The last box I cleaned was the sparrow box. No nest, but a lot of poop. Something has been sleeping in there. I have moved one of my trail cameras to watch it so I can find out what!

After that I cut the grass and did some work on the pond. Some of the plants needed bigger baskets. It’s a mucky job so I needed a shower afterwards. :D

I’m feeling mostly very pleased with the pond now. Unfortunately some blanketweed got in, so I am trying to eradicate that ... I suspect manage is all I will achieve from what I have read though :(
Well done. I spent today finishing my bottle wall and mowing the lawn as well. I am now broken. I will take a photo once it is totally complete. As I still need to clean the bottles.

This sucks. I think I should stop now so that others can catch up to me with negative points. Besides other than Yvonne I don't see anyone else trying to figure out what missions are. Surely Oh Dark Lord you can start giving negative points for not making guesses.
