Thursday 8th March (Some Spring Sunshine and Great Success for a Great Tit)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window into a sunny sky. Wood pigeons called.

In the afternoon Mr. Kite and His Lady went to Morville Church to put flowers on a grave. In the churchyard the signs of spring were evident. Cherry blossom on the trees and daffodils popping their shoots through the green grass. From a low tree another sign of spring was heard. The 'teacher, teacher, teacher' call of a great tit. This birds appeared to be calling to attract a mate and was having great success; three female great tits sat in other branches of the tree listening to their suitor.

With great enthusiasm the bird kept up the calling for fifteen minutes before moving on followed by his 'harem'. Mr. Kite laid the flowers and returned home for a tipple of Greene King IPA. Cheers.
