North-East Winds

Checking around the North Denes, the oval & net posts this evening absolutely nothing was seen. Whilst at Ness point on the "finger" 2 Purple Sandpipers were asleep on the tip of a seaweed encrusted rock oblivious to the choppy sea around them. I also noted up to 8 pieces of natural sponge a pale cream colour standing out against the greenery was also washed up onto the "finger" too.

In the garden today, I found a dead Wood Mouse floating on the water in the fish pond. It didn't have any marks on it so I assume it fell in and drowned. Meanwhile, the female Blackbird near the kitchen window is now sitting tight on her nest and not flying off when we put rubbish in the bins nearby, maybe a sign that she is incubating eggs?
