............Eight
weeks ago now ... putting cameras in bird
boxes (you might remember that I have placed them live online previously) -
getting ready just in case we get lucky with nesting in the Spring - straight
away can see that an enterprising blue tit is seeking refuge from the winds and
weather, in one or our boxes ! - every night around 7.00pm it flies in and
settles down in this box, fluffs up its feathers to conserve heat, and sleeps
until the following dawn - lovely to see -
CLICK ON THE BLUE TIT if you would like to see
it (Sound is disabled for the time being - may enable if we get to nesting!)) AND my neighbour
Michael Pick has recorded an online shot of the bird arriving in the box
recently CLICK
HERE to see that
AND .......I am
sure you have lots of birds of your own to watch - but we have feeders in a tree
in our garden, with a camera to watch them from inside our house - IN DAYLIGHT
HOURS, that is now online

Office.:
----Saturday
11 Apr - Monday 20 Apr
Saturday looks to be rather unsettled with a mixture of sunny spells and
showers. There may be some occasional longer spells of rain, particularly in the
north and northwest where it could turn windier than recent days. Turning cooler
with temperatures returning close to average. Over the rest of the Easter
weekend, there should be a good deal of dry, settled weather with sunny spells.
It will be driest in the south, with the greatest chance of rain and stronger
winds in the far north and northwest of the UK. Temperatures above normal, and
warmest in the south, but with overnight frosts further north. Beyond the Easter
weekend, this weather pattern is expected to continue with dry weather
dominating.
Tuesday 21 Apr - Tuesday 5 May
Although confidence is low during this time period, the most probable scenario
is that dry weather should dominate, with some interludes of more changeable
weather at times. Towards the end of the period, there appears to be some
signals that it may be drier towards the northwest UK, with some wetter and
windier weather further south. Temperatures are likely to vary around the
average or even slightly above, with some large variations between day and
night..-----------------
