Robin

There is a Robin nesting in the porch in front of the lounge door. While I am working I see the Robin flying in and out to feed the chicks. I see there is another nest in the porch as well as 2 more in the porch in front of the dining room. As yet I don't know what is nesting in any of them. We have had 2 weeks of rain and it is very wet under foot for gardening. The grass and weeds are growing very fast. "Big Boy" our adopted pheasant is forever on the hill crowing away. He is often seen with his 2 ladies in the early morning and and evening. I look forward to his chicks hatching and being paraded for us to see!
