    What's your weather like 2026

    Messing around with rain again here, nothing heavy but I just wish things could dry up for a few days, even when it's not raining the atmosphere is so damp any drying is very slow.

    What's buzzing flying near you 2026

    Late afternoon visit from a Sparrowhawk which looks like a new young male, no bigger than a Collared Dove. Fortunately it didn't catch anything.
