A few random things.
Not everyones interest, but hopefully something for everyone.
About 8 years ago I built this double nesting box.
Depending on the season, the blackbirds use it every year, and some other birds have built a next in the rear section.
Sunday night it came down.
Note the neat, weaved nest, incorporating moss etc.
Rebuilt.
Blackbird mansion,
And the other side, open for pigeons or whatever birds prefer an open, eaves type space.
Followed by a nice sunset.
Today I had to pick up an order and an eBay purchase.
Soudal Crystal adhesive for the blue tit Teapot nests.
On the way home I popped in at Uncle Bob’s to see a couple of motors he has.
£50.00 buys a Honda, no centrifugal clutch.
Or a B&S motor with centrifugal clutch, but V-Belt drive.
So options for the barstool racer.
The other item was 50 vinyl cutout stars to use for the gate.
Quite challenging to be honest.
Really hard rain came down.
Nice and dry under the roof too.
And finally a coat of blue enamel.
Lets hope the stars come off easily enough once dried.
And also that the positioning is good enough to look like a cartoon style flag.
Not an easy job, placing the stars.
