THIS THREAD IS NOW DISCONTINUED, please add to the new 2020 thread HERE
Often we don't have enough photos to create a full thread so thought I'd start an Odds & Sods thread where you may want to add a pic or two when you don't have enough for their own thread . Feel free to add your rogues gallery here !
I only had a couple of pics today, one a Treecreeper and the other a very hacked off looking Great Egret huddled against the reeds trying to keep warm !

Unknown said:It will interesting to see what birds you get in your new place. We'll give you a day or two to settle in of course …
lol Nige, you might only be getting photos of polo ponies !! not expecting too many birds during August and part of September as they go into moult and other birds prepare to leave our shores but we'll have more time to visit the coastal areas and reserves so really looking forward to a rest first before we do anything ! These last few moths have been a long hard slog and we're both in need of full battery recharge lol Moving out this Saturday, packers coming Monday and house completes Wednesday - just a few more days of chores and then we'll be freeeeeeee :)
Although we don't complete on our house sale until Wednesday we are now in process of moving into our temporary rental just three miles down the road and spending our first night here. Was a very busy day from early morning and not stopped until now transferring items over and also found I had to steam clean the rental property - wasn't up to my high standards and I'm a bit fussy about bathrooms/kitchen, etc. As if I haven't had enough to do lol ! Anyway, I digress ……….. a welcome sight when we arrived here were several families of House Martins who are nesting in the eaves above our modern barn conversion. There were also swallows perched on the overhead lines so whilst waiting for my steam machine to heat up I grabbed the camera - as you do !!
Well at least I think they are house martins and swallows but as I don't see them very often I'll leave it to you to correct if needs be !
House Martins first - I think ? there are three in this nest
and Swallow
they were calling much of the time ............
I think we're going to like it here …………… once I've cleaned the place up and down to looking after just one house !
LOL, Hazel, I'm sure we could manage two or even three cups of tea at the very least! Edit: (And maybe even a biscuit or two!) Best of luck with the remaining work. I was hoping you could take tomorrow off for a little rest but at least you have the pleasure of remembering your childhood every time you pass the house on your way to your temporary home. And I imagine you are looking forward to getting up to LM shortly after this bout of moving house is over!
