Flycatcher

The Flycatcher is feeling at home here. He is having a good bath after a long long flight!

Flycatcher is back!

 It was quite misty this morning when I awoke.

I sat with my coffee looking and a bit pondering...meanwhile enjoying the beauty of the mist outside. Than suddenly I noticed the flycatcher!

 He' s back all the way from Africa back to my garden. Every year I try to catch his first arrival day. 

Actually I was  thinking this week, that he's late. Former years I thought he arrived here earlier. (I checked it and that's not really true...many times he was here around this time...and sometimes even later).

I am happy he arrived today or better said that I noticed him today being back.

Such a beautiful bird tweeting and tjirping all day.

Here is the link of his annual arrival times.

Squirrel in the jar

How to get a squirrel in a jar?

The peanut-butter-jar is almost empty...Squirrel knows how to get in deep, to get the last bits out.
 

Squirrel

 Last week, I crushed lots of peanuts and sunflower seeds and put them together with some peanut butter in a jar.

Now squirrel has discovered the jar. I think he could smell it, because normally he does not climb the apple tree in search for a little something. 

Its a rainy day so that his tail is scruffy as wel as his ears, which looks so cute.
