I haven't been feeling great today. Going down with something; just not sure what yet!

I have also found the perfect home for Joe's cold frame with another TFO member who I also know, and have met, through the IT forum where I am a moderator. Feeling good about that. :)

any updates on the nest box??
Back in residence for the night. Got a bit fidgety and we identified it as a bluet it. :)

Library picture of one for those not living in Europe (or those that do, but give it a different name in their language)

A cold frame is a like a small greenhouse used by gardeners to protect plants. The perspex lid lets the light in. In a sunny makes a good basking place for a tort to warm up. Joe slept in his.

Joe's original was one from a garden centre that we knocked a hole in the side of. When it fell apart with age, my father in law built a replacement. Last year we had a third built as the second had fallen apart after years of use too.

You can see numbers two and three in this thread
