Diary of a weekend gardener

Friday night welcome

Came home and mooched around the garden to the sound of a distant car alarm and a song thrush. I've heard it for the last few evenings but couldn't see it. Finally saw it about three gardens away. Definitely a song thrush this time. I played the song thrush and mistle thrush audios on the RSPB web site to confirm it. I'm even more convinced that the winter bird was a mistle thrush - bigger and a different sort of song.

Have arranged the new plants in the border, still in their pots/bags. Don't want to move them once they're in so I'll have a mull for a day or two before planting them permanently. Still got some more shrubs to come out that are just plain wrong.
