Winter bloomers!

At Bath Buildings there were a couple of plants still in flower, Herb Robert and Ivy-leaved Toadflax. There was quite a bit of Rusty-backed Fern on the wall too - we seem to have lots of this attractive fern in Monty.

Spiders!

I have 2 Missing-sector Orbweb Spiders Zygiella x-notata in my flat, one in the bathroom and this one in the kitchen. The latter is expanding her web with lines of silk radiating from the window onto various items on my kitchen worktop.

Montpelier Park!

Lots of common bird activity in the park this morning, with a party of Blue and Great Tits feeding in the trees, a Jay, half a dozen Chaffinches including a nice male bird, a Blackbird, 2 singing Wrens plus the resident Woodpigeons and Magpies. A couple of Grey Squirrels were searching for food and there was lots of White Deadnettle in flower.
