A Fairy Bucket Appears and a few more year bird ticks

I drove past Millennium Wood early this morning for the first time since before Christmas and paid a brief visit. At long last redwings have arrived on this small reserve and a great tit was also added to the list of birds seen here.

Near Millennium Wood is the "fairy door" and, oh look, a miniature "fairy" bucket has been added over the festive period!






A few more birds have been spotted for the 2012 bird list - redwing mentioned above, a coal tit in the garden and jay and jackdaw seen as I've been driving round.

My mum is still in hospital so, with the constant visits, I am not sure when I'm going to get time to visit Brandon Marsh or Middleton Lakes, although I will try and get out somewhere next week.

    The fairy door is fantastic! I wonder what the little bucket is for - the daily milk delivery, perhaps?

    Sorry to read your Mum is in hospital. I hope she is soon better.

    Hi Pete and Rob - glad you both like the fairy door. I don't know who's gradually adding the features but its a great idea (for kids of all ages :D!).

    Thank you both so much for the good wishes re: my mum.
