A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TREE

Last night we had a very heavy storm, thunder - the whole 5 yards- the rain was particularly heavy. This morning when I looked at my pine/fir tree the cones that had been there had all gone. There was a spectacular amount of 'fluttering' of tiny wings in the branches, closer examination revealed dozens of blue tits, I can only assume that a lot of insects had come to the surface of branches. In addition my neighbour had put out a fresh peanut holder full on his tree and sure enough there were these charming little birds rushing between feeder and branch. Quite lovely. Granny
