The bird count is a citizen science project we've been doing for a few years. It runs for a week in winter - where people observe and count birds for a hour.
We had a beautiful day and went outside with our coffees to do double duty of bird counting and talking about landscaping when the building is done. Loads of sparrows around, plus several blackbird pairs that live in our yard. Five tui which is wonderful - they are tucking into camelia flowers at the moment - silvereyes, goldfinches, seagulls, one starling. The usual suspects.
Mish is experimenting with a layout here. Pipes and wood outlining another corten planter box that will enclose a seating area on crushed limestone and abut a herb garden. Maybe. In the background is a probable paint colour for the old house too. It's chartreuse, a bit greener than it looks here, and is firming as the favourite.
Not sure what is happening here, but it's the weekend (cause this is where the builders park) and she's still in her dressing gown. This is the push out space which will increase our dining area. (And allow for a better view of the cars, which one of us has no problem with at all 😀.)
