Seems to be a white rhododendron – there are so many around here in different colours!

Blackbird Nest Update


Actually, there’s not much report aside from the fact that the nest is now almost continually occupied. No chance of having a closer look, but if there are hatchlings, we should be able to see them!

Jumpie I


A jumping spider I encountered on the balcony yesterday… with a size of about 1cm a bit bigger than the previous ones. A feisty fellow, jumped directly on the camera lens at one time! :-)
