Eily’s Report – 23rd July

Dia is Mhuire dióbh go léir a cairde and welcome to my Report.

I don’t watch matches, but I would ask the result when it would be over. Well when I put the vital question on Sunday evening, I got a very sharp retort, “Don’t Go there”, so I won’t.  Our weather still plays games with us. Bright sunshine to look out at but windy and cold when you venture. But at least the drop of rain is keeping things green and fresh and good to look out at.

And that, coupled with the sight of all the little fledglings feeding on the peanuts a few feet from my window is enough to brighten up any sagging spirits. Little mothers coming with their droves of youngsters that they hatched into the world against a backdrop of dwindling places to call home and a wet Spring. The young robins are hard to identify because their distinctive red breasts haven’t still developed and won’t for another couple of months, but you can still spot them. For one thing they don’t feed from the food basket, but do a great job in picking up the bits that others let drop. I’m rather disappointed this season at the non-appearance on the  lovely red-headed Gold Finches at the feeding place. I spotted one in the garden a few days ago but none at the peanuts. I can’t explain why.  Their pickings in the wild get more abundant all the time ,with many of the weeds such as nettles and docks growing ripe and bursting out with the seeds that our feathered friends love.
