Nature's Calendar - Great Tit & The Scrappycats team challenge layouts

Isn't it great to hear the birds sing and to be able to identify them by there call. The great tit has a very loud call for such a small bird, my little observers book of British birds describes the notes like this "Si si si" and a sharp "chink". The song "tea-cher", is a high and a low metallic note repeated several times.
Up until very recently I didn't know one bird song from another but the walk along the back lane, especially now when the birds are visible because the trees are leafless, has helped me tremendously.

My Mojo has definitely returned to the fold I have been scrapping, a lot this month and most of them so far have been paper pages

These two, one digital and one paper, both done for my team's weekly challenge on UKScrapper

Sweet little great tit - we have lots of those visiting our garden just now. I have been learning the bird-calls recently. I already knew a robin, blackbird and some pigeon calls, but was a bit unsure about the other squeaks and squawks we hear regularly in the garden. I'm sorting them out now, so I can tell which is the great tit (!), which the blue tit, the chaffinch, dunnock, wren (though it's so loud I usually guessed!), song thrush (rather than blackbird) etc. I'm getting there!

I like those two pages - it's hard to be sure which is digi and which is paper... but I think the first is a digi page and the second has "real" lace on it?
That cat certainly looks comfortable!

A place for me to put the pictures of layouts I have done that I am pleased with, to put in the poems I write and to add snippets of things that have caught my eye
