Baby Rabbit

Moved into the workshop a few days ago and came out during the day but was always there in the morning. Koby, the neighbours cat, was very keen to eat it but I managed to catch it and take it down the lane in a cat carrier. It looked around a few times before hopping off towards Hambledon Hill, hope it manages to survive ok. A slightly cooler day with more cloud and light winds

Giant Scabious

The bees love this nectar rich scabious, it does well in the wind swept border even if it’s not staked.  Fog in the valley this morning, turned into a very hot day.  Watered the hedge and all the veg, water butts nearly empty.  House Martins are flying in and around the garden and stable block at low level catching flies, not sure where they are nesting.  The pair of thrushes are back collecting worms, not seen them for a couple of days. Sheep are happy in the lower paddock where there’s lots of shade if they want it, and there’s a rabbit that likes to sleep in the buttercups, only know it’s there when it makes its escape.
