Nuthatch

Not too many wee birds about this morning .... one Robin, one Blue Tit, a Blackbird and a Dunnock all up around the wee pond. 

The Nuthatch was on a fallen tree trunk near the house. Holly doesn't have the patience that Poppy and Mia had. She does sit quietly but sooner than I like she starts to make a wee whimper which means it's time to go.

A muddy dog and a pair of muddy boots which I have left in the porch.
Another bucketful of withering camellia heads collected .... still plenty of buds to open.
