An interesting 'bird' observation.
The front door of my bungalow is on the north end and as I have cuddled up my motorhome to it in order to leave much of the rest of the space available for other vehicles etc., this has left a 'corridor' outside the front door.

Over the last few weeks I have noticed that there has been an accumulation of bird droppings gathering on the floor outside the door (which we rarely use as we have two more convenient alternative ones on the rear).

Last evening, when taking the dogs out for their late night piddly-pee, I shone the torch up to the eaves to see if I could find out where they were coming from and guess what, hidden right up under the apex of the roof was a collection little birds! I could not tell if they were sparrows or blue tits as they were all huddles together.
This morning, I went out to take this photo and I do believe there is one fellow still in bed - at noon! I still can't make out if it is a sparrow or a blue tit. Why they have chosen this place and on a north-facing wall, I cannot imagine as we have hundreds of more and better places around the property.

Morning All! :D
Monday beckons. A special Gym day apparently as I am to receive my "end of term (year) report" from the Gym owner, and supposedly set the goals for next year.
I'm going to insist on NOT DYING for a start (seems a good plan), and I might add some nonsense about giving up heavy drinking and losing some lard.
Have a great day everyone.
