Since Linda was selling honey and wax-wraps at a local farmers' market, I was marooned at home. I decided to do a bit of garden maintenance: cleaning out pond pumps, watering tubs and weeding the lawn. Needless to say, a camera was nearby, and I was pleased to see - and photo - several groups of Swifts. Kestrels are not common over the Heath, so a soaring male was good to see, as was one of the local Red Kites.
We tend to choose unusual plants for the garden: one of my 'picks' was a Drimys. a hard-to-find species from South America. This specimen has not flowered since we planted it four years ago, so this spring's display was a surprise and delight!
