The Shed.

On May the 3rd 2016 we took delivery of a brand new shed. A few volunteers assembled it on site. As always, there was fun to be had – even in a shower of rain. The shed houses all of our tools, brushes, water containers, first-aid kit and other necessary accoutrements such as chairs and a cake box!

Here it is in various stages of assembly. The slabs for the base were laid by the council.

A good base is important.

Now then, let’s think about this!

Would you get the door, please?

An inside job.

Clearing up after a good job done.

Isn’t it lovely?

Unobtrusive and fits in nicely.

Tawny Owl, photographed today.

From the RSPB website; “The tawny owl is nocturnal so it is often heard calling at night, but much less often seen. In the daytime, you may see one only if you disturb it inadvertently from its roost site in woodland up against a tree trunk or among ivy. Look for pellets below roosting places.”

This bird was photographed at around 3pm and one (possibly the same bird) was seen before 11am. They are often heard hooting in the cemetery during the day. You won’t hear their wings, though, as their flight is silent.

A few views from around the cemetery plus an ‘Eyed Ladybird‘ spotted on one of the grave stones.
