Dunnock (Hedge Sparrow) our garden sheltering from the rain. A pair of Dunnocks nest each year in the ivy on the fence in our garden.

I sit me in my corner chair
That seems to feel itself from home,
And hear bird music here and there
From hawthorn hedge and orchard come;
The Dark Hedges - Romantic, atmospheric, tunnel-like avenue of intertwined beech trees, planted in the 18th-century.
Used as a location in filming of Game of Thrones and the new Transformers movie
The Dunnock (Prunella modularis) is a species of bird in the genus Braunellen, the only genus in the family of the same name, Braunellen (Prunellidae). The Dunnock is a widespread and common breeding and summer bird in Central Europe, but because of its inconspicuous plumage it is usually only noticed for its vocalisations. In some areas of Central Europe it is even an annual bird. Hedge sparrows are particularly common in young spruce stands. In the mountains, they occur as far as the knee timber region.

Die Heckenbraunelle (Prunella modularis) ist eine Vogelart aus der Gattung Braunellen, der einzigen Gattung in der gleichnamigen Familie Braunellen (Prunellidae). Die Heckenbraunelle ist in Mitteleuropa ein weit verbreiteter und häufiger Brut- und Sommervogel, der wegen des unauffälligen Gefieders aber meist nur durch seine Lautäußerungen auffällt. In einigen Gebieten Mitteleuropas ist sie sogar ein Jahresvogel. Heckenbraunellen sind besonders in jungen Fichtenbeständen anzutreffen. Im Gebirge kommen sie bis in die Knieholzregion vor.

No trip to Ireland is complete without a stop at the Dark Hedges. In about 1775, James Stuart built a new house, named Gracehill House after his wife Grace Lynd. Over 150 beech trees were planted along the entrance road to the estate, to create an imposing approach. According to legend, the hedges are visited by a ghost called the Grey Lady, who travels the road and flits across it from tree to tree. The Dark Hedges were popularized when the location was used as a filming location for the "King's Road" in the television series “Game of Thrones”. -wikipedia
Hedge posts like this are a common sight in rural Kansas. Hedge rows of Osage Orange trees planted to mark early property lines across the plains still provide fencing in use today.
Shaggy, one of our neighbour's cats, spends her early mornings sleeping in our jasmine hedge. It is over 6 feet tall and here she is just making her way out to move on to her afternoon spot - lol
Happy Furry Friday. We have lovely weather here at the moment but it is half term next week, so the Forest will be over run with tourists for the next several days, so unless we go out very early, we will be staying at home. We have a holiday to Cornwall coming up in a couple of weeks - very exciting.
Wishing you all a happy and carefree weekend
