Now you see me...

...now you don't.

A trip home... I'd been away for five nights. Got back at about 5:30pm to leave at 10:30am the next day.

Here's what I did: a load of laundry, vacuumed the whole house, mopped downstairs, refilled the handwash containers, watered plants, unboxed many things and disposed of the packaging, prepared clothes and food to take away for the final night away, cleaned the bird bowls, fed the birds, cuddled the cats, slept eight hours, and ate toast with slices of tomato.

The bird part was good. I heard a blackcap singing as well as the wren, robin and dunnock. Saw blackbirds and great and blue tits, dunnocks and Falco/a.

Just after this photo opportunity, I saw Falco/a look upwards, shrink their body into aerodynamic form and launch themself in pursuit of a stranger. Never knowingly welcoming, that's the nature of robins.
