Under Rydon Hill

Welcome to this blog about my time away from the tedium of domestic management. Once called "Tits and Things", now sub-titled "Life in Quantoxia", there's plenty of bird ringing (90%), some odd bits of general birding, some local steam trains, some personal bits and occasional 'away days' in other parts of Britain. Rydon Hill overlooks the lower valley of the Doniford Stream, where most of these activities take place.

The flags are flying



It's just a bit breezy out there as the view from my bedroom window looking towards the 'new-build' suggests.
Out the back, i.e. sitting in the kitchen with a cup of fresh coffee in hand, sixteen Goldfinches are already hard at work, eating their way rapidly through another bag of sunflower kernels. And nine Collared Doves chime in as well a bit later one. Don't they realise I'm a hard-up pensioner these days?
Here's a poor shot of some of them - which reminds me, I must gee up the window cleaner.
