{A couple of months later} "It turned out that Rebekah comes from a very rich family, and her grandparents bequeathed a huge farmhouse. Rebekah wasn't interested in it at first. It's too big for a single person, she said. She's also not interested in gardening or taking care of animals. She prefers hunting them 🙈 So she stayed in her little shed in Moonwood Mills. But I talked her into showing me the farmhouse... and it was love at first sight! It was a bit dilapidated as no one had taken care of it in years. However, with a bit of magic and a lot of hard work, I began to turn it into a home. There's still a lot to do. I can only focus on one room at a time. But even Bekah is slowly starting to like the place 🥰️ I love it! I love it so much! It's home! I'm currently working on the baby's nursery, or rather reworking our bedroom, which will include the nursery. I can't wait to raise my child here 💖" - Avalon

25/02/2023-Redbridge Wharf and Lower Test
Flora, fauna and fungi pictures I took today in this photoset are of; one of a few Mute Swans seen closely at Redbridge Wharf, lesser celandine at Lower Test it was a pleasure to see these golden forest early spring flowers one of the first to come out in the wooded bit of the Lower Test walk, fungi at Lower Test, some beautiful and intricate turkey tail fungus one I like seeing, snowdrops at Lower Test these carpeted the forest floor brilliantly I’ve had a good year so far for seeing scenes of snowdrops beautifully covering places which is a sight to behold, a Great Spotted Woodpecker it was pleasing to see at Lower Test, two of one of two gorgeous Peregrines I was thrilled to see this one sat on a pylon and another one flew before this one did always a wonderful bird to enjoy seeing, daisy and beautiful ruby red scarlet elf cup I’ve had a good week for seeing them too and moss.
The visit to Redbridge Wharf the first time for us was to look for the Iceland Gull that has been there and we did see this angelic bright white gull, another amazing bird to see this year and lately only our third ever sighting of the species to take my year list to 147. Common Gull with the Herring and Black-headed Gulls, Woodpigeon seen well and Wigeon were also nice to see here. Other standout sightings at Lower Test were Cetti’s Warbler, a decent few Wrens seen intimately and calling their typewriter call, Shelducks, lovely Little Egrets and pretty Roe Deers. Periwinkle and golden daffodils near to each other also adorned the woodland part of the walk. We walked all around Lower Test and it was my first time at the hide and screens side for years. This bit is where we first visited here when it was the second nature reserve we visited in my childhood early birdwatching days I believe and we don’t come to this bit too often now so it was great to be here. It brings nature into an urban area well with the reedbeds mixed nicely with hallmarks of an urban area like Starlings and their gushing calls and and a nice camellia tree flowering in a garden.
