Time to mend the nets…
A few days in Shropshire, catching up with the family and of course we had some nets up in and around the garden. the house next door is STILL derelict and no sign of anything being done with that. The local authority had very kindly strimmed the grass in the back garden and trimmed the beautiful Hawthorn hedge.
We took the opportunity to do some net mending. Dad’s driveway is quite long so we were able to put a net up between two poles and work our way along, fixing any holes and mending where the netting had come away from the side or shelf strings. It is a fact of life that nets are expensive and, speaking as one who is eternally skint, i like to lengthen their lifespan for as long as possible. Mending is a simple enough task but fairly time-consuming.
Net mending
A nice selection of birds were captured and ringed over the weekend. Also captured were two birds that already had rings, but hadn’t originally been ringed by me - a Greenfinch and a Goldfinch. We’ll have to wait a while to find out where they have come from.
