A breath of fresh air

I recently spent an afternoon at Calke Abbey catching up with the

gardens and the wildlife. As you can see it was a beautiful day,

bright sunshine and a brilliant blue sky.

 

 The reflections in the glass houses were inspiring.

Happened to catch this fella in the sunshine..............

Just off the car park at Calke there is a shed!
Not just an ordinary shed........ a hide.
It's one of the best things to spend some time being quiet and
watching the birds.
The blue tits are so blue....................

Another visitor

Another beautiful visitor in the garden last weekend.....

Visitors in the garden

We live next to fields belonging to an animal rescue organisation.

We suspected that we may be having visitors because a hole had

been eaten in the hedge, close cropped grass and the real give

away - sheep droppings.

My OH went out for a smoke about 5.30 tonight and was

greeted by this.........look carefully..........I didn't use a flash as we

didn't want a stampede. There were probably about 15 sheep.

The wheelie bin handles can just be seen at the front of the photo.

They were all over the back garden literally.

They just stood and looked at him until he moved then wandered

off slowly back the way they'd come.
