    Lucan Demesne/St Catherine’s Park is a great amenity area



    As well as all the playing fields – they have recently introduced loads of exercise equipment for adults and children throughout the complex


    These include

    Tai Chi Spinners
    Shoulder Builder
    Chest Press
    Leg Press
    and
    Seated Puller


    But I was really impressed today with their latest addition


    The ‘Robin Slide’

    Call me a copycat but I saw a photo here lately ( Splish or Srameen I think) with an apple in a tree and a blackcap beside it- so I put a couple of pieces of appple on the branches of the hedge ( Lidl were selling 6 granny smiths for 49cents!).

    This evening -

    Just looking at the last couple of photos I took last night of the Blackcap as the sun faded in the garden... it has no dazzling colours or jumpout features(well!)- but what a really beautiful little bird it is!

    Interesting to look at the cormorant's ' outer protection' - it's like a batsuit!

    EDIT

    Hope it's ok if I just add this last one also -

    Its taken me years to get photos of a Bullfinch. Always see them on the same trees in the garden from the end of January on.
    Could never get near them.
