Not the best photo I know. But still, I think it's captures an interesting variation of blue tit autumn plumage 🤣

Cool, I've never seen one of these before, I believe it is a Hornet Mimic Hoverfly. And trust me, when I first saw it I was initially pretty damn grateful that I don't keep bees lol. That look must one hell of a self defence mechanism, it does make you pause and think.

Finally founder the ideal window box for the (south facing 😃) kitchen window. Now to find a mixture of pots for it, and then to plant up a little winter colour to make use of it until it's time to move over to some nice smelly annual herbs in the spring 😀

The first tomatos are nearly ready, it takes a bit of time and care from when you plant them, but the reward is so worthwhile. I just can't wait to try them 😋

I think that eerie glow is some kind of gull. It's just cruising back and forth above some thin cloud so that light reflecting from the bird is producing this glowing light that's just floating around in the sky 😀 I just wish I could take a clear video of it.

I.e. I didn't know that this empty plant pot is now home to this tiny fella, who's made a rather complex and somewhat successful web 😀

Looks like you're in big trouble now @darthputinkgb.bsky.social. I hear he "really, really, really, cross my heart and hope to die" means it this time

Does anyone know what the #blackbird is for "your fledgling ran into the undergrowth when the magpie startled it"?
I kind of want to go out there and this waiting game might take a while 😀

All the way up to the top of the gate, hopefully it'll be able to leave with it's parents soon.

In other news, Orville (I wish I could fly) is still here. Still, pretty hopeless, but being fed and getting there. Managed to fly up onto the patio table when I startled it earlier 😀

Just walked into the toilet and I appear to have interpreted some kind of drama. And it seems that the only way I can restart it is to turn the light off 🕷

Another poor pic, but I have a new character in the garden. I think it's a fledgling wood pigeon. It appeared in the garden yesterday with two adults who have seemingly left it behind, and it's been wandering around the garden looking like a lost Paddington Bear who doesn't what to do.

It's a roadrunner. Though probably not a real one as it appears to be breaking Chuck Jones's rule no. 5

Judging by how chunky this little one's getting, I guess she's carrying littluns 😀
