Good evening all. I had my regular shift at the rescue today. I was training a new volunteer on his first day which was nice :)

We had this gorgeous European Common Buzzard in. It’s one of the UK’s mid-size birds or prey, probably the biggest that we see regularly round where I live. The wingspan is similar to that of an Osprey.

They’re very patient birds and will sit for hours on a fence post waiting for a careless rabbit or pheasant to wander past. They’re often seen soaring on thermals as the day gets warmer. They’re usually alone except in breeding season.

And my batteries are relatively small 100 amp hours/each. For a whole house-hold system, (if u want storage) and a full battery bank = $$$
Mine is a 6.8 kW peak. But I've never actually seen it that high. I have 22 panels.

They might have moved to NJ .
I have some living in my window (around the window under the siding)
I wanted to wait for honey...
But I lost that fight.. ??‍♀️
I am looking into the possibility of keeping bees, pricing up the hives etc. Although I will admit to being slightly scared, perhaps I could just put the hives there and let them do their own thing but would be a shame to miss out on the honey

Good morning, Tuesday already. Very wet here, seems to be raining constantly,. Good weather for ??? may need to borrow a kayak to get to work
You live in Lancashire. It rains constantly. I went to university in Lancaster and learned all too well about the rain... it was so much wetter than my home in Yorkshire just the other side of the Pennines. :D

For the unitiated, Lancashire is just south of The Lake District in the North West of England. It gets all the rain off the Atlantic. There’s a reason the Lake District is where it is! ?
To be fair, the UK has had a run of very bad weather recently. We had it rain pretty much non stop Thursday night to Sunday. Our pond is brim full and the rain butt filled in a night
