This red kite flew over the house at the weekend. There are almost a dozen birds that glide over the village looking for things to eat in the gardens.

Rose bush pruned over the weekend. During pruning, I noticed aphids on the stems. I suspect ants are at work farming them.

Ladybirds on my redcurrant bush yesterday. Great to see, but they may have emerged too early, it’s barely above 0 °C today.
