10th Female greater spotted woodpecker in garden feeding on the peanuts if the squirrel has left any.
15th The hedgehog is back but early at 7-30 eating the mealworms left by the birds. St Swithins day is sunny despite the forecasts. "St. Swithin's Day if it do rain, for forty days it will remain. St.Swithin's Day an it be fair, For forty days t'will rain no mare".
16th Very rainy so much for the saying above. The hedgehog appears at 5:45. Seeing one in the day is said to mean something is wrong but she looks OK , is eating and drinking so I'm not worried at the moment.
