I had been planning a relatively quiet day, pottering in the Magic Garden & taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch count. Instead after a night of howling wind, bangs and bumps, I woke to more destruction this time from Storm Malik. My neighbours had definitely come off worse this time but nevertheless I’m picking up the pieces again in my re-distributed garden.

The feeders on the old pole are mostly intact but the ones that were on the rowan tree are not and I will need to buy replacements. I did get a moment or two to enjoy the birds though
