Lots of ripe berries, mostly quite large. I even ate some of them, a first this year. And there will be lots more of them in a few days. Tub filled, lidded and awaiting the attentions of the tray freezer. All in the space of about twenty minutes. Even had time for a spot of brick carrying after.
On the other side of the hedge, that is to say to the right in this snap, an aural tweet of a bird. A bird with steady bursts of chirps, perhaps 15 or 20 to the burst. Very distinctive. He or she kept it up for a while and while I could see the odd bit of movement through the hedge, I never got to see, never mind tweet, the bird in question; very frustrating.
While down the path, we had chain saw action at the pile of logs noticed at reference 1. But it was not one of the chain saw volunteers, just a young man chopping some logs down so that he could load them into his trailer. Tow car just visible above. Then away home with them to chop them into domestic sized chunks, which he said he was going to sell door to door. While I had thought he was one of the charcoal merchants last noticed at reference 2, prepping some timber for the charcoal boiler. I thought it best not to ask to see his title to forage.
And then, just a few minutes ago, a possible tweet of a bat on the other side of the leylandii outside our back extension. Just about the right time for a bit of aerial grazing before the fliers shut down for the night.
