Great tits, snails and damselflies

Raining hard today. An adult great tit was foraging in the climbing plants on the shed opposite the kitchen window. Before I could get my camera the great tit flew up into the tree. It sounded like the adult bird feeding its young.


Lots of slugs and snails about. This one was having a piggy back. I'm sure their must be some chinese moral there somewhere!


There were several damselflies hanging from the underside of the yellow flag leaves, sheltering from the rain.

Mating snails

While hanging the washing out I noticed these two snails mating in one of my newly planted window boxes.
I moved them to the window sill to take this picture and then took them for a walk down the back alley to find them a better place to lay their eggs than my window box.
