The yew berries are now out, they're such a lovely sight (though poisonous, so don't touch!).
Up above our heads, a group of house martins were twittering excitedly, they'll be leaving us soon. There were also a lot of what looked like chiffchaffs in the trees, they'll be going back to their wintering grounds soon too.

Our house martins are still here too - they are so busy practising their skills and I am sure they will go any day now.
ReplyDeleteI love the name chiffchaff.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many squirrels where I live that they've taken on personality; they do so many delightful things to watch.
Congrats on your poetry and short fiction publications :)
What a cute little squirrel. I still love them even though my finger hurts every time I see one from when I got bit last year rescuing the baby squirrel from the pool.

I enjoy the squirrels. They wait for me in the morning to put their food out and as soon as I walk far enough away they are down and grabbing up the peanuts!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful animals.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your publications.
