I’ve lived in this place in SW Wales for 25 years and, as usual, put out food for the visiting #birds. At the start you’d see a couple of dozen species visiting each day. Just now I fed them and total visitors to table so far = zero. The magpies and wood-pigeons will eventually wander by and vac it all up. The changes are so...

🤔 …some…kind of…connection… “Defra’s announcement followed the Soil Association’s Stop Killing our Rivers campaign, which also identified 10 further rivers in England and Wales at risk from ** intensive poultry** pollution”....

Gutted that this article did not contain the electrifying utterance by Sunak that driving at 20mph is against British standards. Plenty of other guff, though.

I’d forgotten how short&sweet these country diary entries are. Hadn’t read them for years. (scroll up, scroll up) 🧊

I’m feeling wistful when I see the two crimson sweet-pea buds still clinging on, in the garden. It’s been around two weeks now. It doesn’t look like they’re going to bloom. I can’t remember seeing them this late in the year before.

It’s two weeks since our local bus-services were shredded. Routes were discontinued and frequency reduced. We thought that would consolidate the remaining services regarding reliability....

I have just seen a few ladybirds hanging about on the branches of a fatsia shrub in my garden. They have been prolific this year. Wondering why they’re not off hibernating somewhere.
