Seeds to go

Back home early from our trip away we decided to get some fresh air while the sun was shining.  Seems like many other people had a similar idea,  Upton House was looking quite busy.  Not so many down by he mirror pool though where we found these bulrush plants making best use of the current windy weather to spread their seeds as far as possible.

Thankfully, James our grandson with the +ve test is feeling better today and the others are still testing -ve.  He'll miss school for much of this week though and someone will have to stay home with him.

We did our big garden birdwatch this morning - 15 species but mostly Ms Blackcap chasing everything else off the feeder. The woodpeckers probably knew which weekend it was and stayed away along with a fieldfare who waited until the afternoon to make an appearance.
