Magnolia Bud

Possibly the penultimate shot in my recording of the progress of the buds on our Magnolia.  This is the third I have posted the first was on 6/3/23 followed by 9/4/23.  Soon the buds will be open so I will conclude (probably) with a flower shot.

As a reminder for myself, this is the second day running a House Sparrow (Male) has spent time in what I always think of a "the Blue Tit Box".
