I haven’t posted since Monday. What have I been thinking of! One thing, I started another blog. Well, not me exactly, Titiana, my Second Life avatar. All you avid followers who want to read it will find it at

On Wednesday I went to Normanby Hall with my fellow birders. Saw my first nuthatch for more than five years. We also saw the G.S. Woodpecker and the Green Woodpecker. Snowdrops everywhere.

 There were also red deer and fallow deer at the Hall. We only saw the fallow deer in the distance, so no photos. I took several photos of the red deer when they were being fed (sugar beet) but it was such a dark day I had to use something like 1200 iso and the photos are very grainy. Here’s the only one I have changed from raw to jpeg.

I spent yesterday working on a sonnet for my TMA which is due in next week, and today I am going to spend the afternoon gardening. I bought a new bird table this morning as the one on the top lawn was knackered. Its been up an hou, and the birds aren’t biting yet!
