It was time for a long overdue clean of the bird feeders today, so I sat and scrubbed on the doorstep on the patio. I wasn’t that surprised that the Long-tailed tits still made regular visits to the remaining feeders, only about 4 m away, as they are just plain cheeky. I was a bit more surprised when a Magpie came down. My status as irrelevant was confirmed when a Fox appeared at the end of the garden, gave me a look and then walked across the lawn in front of me and went through the hedge.
