No Place To Hide

Guess what should be here?

I had a rude awakening this morning.
Mae woke me from my slumbers (she had been up half the night coughing) to tell me the Bird Hide was being blown around the garden. I had to jump out of bed, retrieve and collapse it. The blustery wind had loosened it from it’s tent hooks. It wasn’t in danger of being blown over Ramsgate as it is too heavy for that but it couldn’t stay out in the garden.
So that put paid to my wishful thinking yesterday of bird watching today.
It was very active in the garden as well (Chaffinches are numerous at the moment) but I didn’t miss out entirely though as I watched this Robin through the patio doors.

This image was taken through double glazed patio doors and poor lighting. With a bit of help from Photoshop I was able to create a usable image.

I haven’t been out of the house, apart from into the garden, since before the New Year and with this blustery, snowy weather set to continue I don’t know when I will get out again.

Oh well. I am in the warm, the freezer is well stocked and with the course of anti-biotics over I might even treat myself to a glass of my favourite tipple this evening.

And with that thought I will close the curtains on the outside world and see what we open them to tomorrow.
