I’ve been hearing strange noises in the morning, which I couldn’t identify. It was difficult to locate where the noise was coming from. Mice in the loft? I’d forgotten DH had put up a new nesting box by the window and hung a squirrel proof bird feeder on the hanging basket hook next to it temporarily as the pole hadn’t fared well with the squirrels frustrated attempts to get at the seed. It seems we have tenants! Sparrows, which have not been visitors in the garden for many years. One noise was metal on metal as birds visited the feeder and the other noise was movement in the nesting box. This morning I could hear quiet chirping. I hoped they are happy with their accommodation!
