Hi all: Getting a late start here today. Been busy in the garden all day and now working on getting some of the glue out of the corners of the panes in the French door, so have back to computer.
Previous Weekly Chat's last page included long chatty posts from Lindybird and OG, a link from Djoan to the BOT Barn Owls, which have their first egg, and a colorful greeting from Diane to AQ who's having a birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AQ! :-)
Not in such a hurry now - boiler rep isn't coming today, he's postponed to a date when his colleague can come to discuss solar panels - has anyone here had any experience with solar water heating?
Have remembered those swans were at Batsford Arboretum in Gloucestershire - where the Mitford sisters grew up.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Good morning DjoanS and a very Happy Birthday, hope you enjoy lunch.
I watch the birds from my conservatory as it is gives me good close up views as long as I stay still. the starlings are eating me out of house and home at the moment. I soak dried mealworms and put them out in a tray and they demilish then in about 5 minutes. I have started rationing them now as they are not the cheapest bird food.
Hot of the press Odin has just come in with a fair size headless fish. EJ takes off and Odin now checking EJ has left th nest tidy before he settles down. Well done Odin you are a star.
Have a good day.

Good morning Wattle 15 that is one super photograph of the black swan, thanks for posting it.
Thanks to All for great pics of black swans. Have a good lunch, DjoanS, and Happy Birthday!
Good morning Ginnie nice to see you back. Have a conservatory because as has been said it can be somewhere to sit on a sunny day even though it might be cold outside. I watch my garden birds quite a lot sitting in mine, at least I do when I am enot watching the ospreys.
Good morning SueC thanks for the good news about Rothes.
Thanks also for the link to those photographs of the peregrine fight at Chichester that must have been something to see.
