GWR ...... done! Bluetits ...... hatched!

,

OK, I shouldn't have really run again this year as I still had a swollen ankle from my 'stepping of a wall I'd forgotten I was on' incident but I thought what the hell and gave it a crack. Oddly my swollen ankle is feeling ok but my left foot (the previously good one) is knackered! I think I have damaged the tendons ...... that'll teach me to run while injured. I guess in trying to protect the swollen ankle over the 13 miles, I hit my then good foot a little hard and now I'm suffering for it :yuck:

Not very happy with my time (1hr 55m) but I can't be too unhappy when I remember that I wasn't exactly run-fit! I'm now holding off my entry to the Cardif Half Marathon until I know both of my legs/feet are 100% fit again :knight:

Other news ....... our bluetit chicks have hatched, making a lot of noise and running their parents ragged. We also have a pair of Collared Doves nesting on the other side of the balcony and they are also sitting on a couple of eggs (apparently they only ever lay two eggs).

do they always use the nesting box?

Not too sure if it is always the same couple but they have been using the box (switched it for a bigger one this year) since 2005. This year the pair started using the box back in January but didn't start roosting their until about March.
