Something new every day .... my Coronavirus daily report.

We they say you learn some thing new every day..Oh my goodness dare I admit it I always thought it was The North Star .When I was very young I thought it was the star my granny lived on and polished every night . So as I started to write my blog tonight as we live in a "dark skies are" I thought the North Star might have a posh name and then I thought well it was more in the west so I had better check and this is what I came up with .... 

Sirius A

Sirius, also known as the Dog Star or Sirius A, is the brightest star in Earth's night sky. The name means "glowing" in Greek — a fitting description, as only a few planets, the full moon and the International Space Station outshine this star.

Quite appropriate really as we have ,as some of you might know Cuckavalda Gundogs  so Dog star it is and the new moon too bringing us hope and light .

So this was at dusk tonight here at home in North Yorkshire ... the final calls of the

birds and they where making there way to bed. I am sure the wrens had already gone as they live in the porch  and fly out as soon as I open the door.Poor little mites I bet they get so cross with my having been bobbing about all day and then me disturbing them.

We have been blessed again with a sunny day, The land is drying up well and the tractors are able to get into the fields without making too many ruts and wheelings. 

So it is good night for me and good night from the birds .

Look who's has come to tea- Deer-

Deer, yes little roe deer. About 8.20pm just as the light was fading I looked out of the window and saw the deer down near the garden gate.Armed with my camera I managed to take a photo of them.There are just above the gate in the field and between the hedge and the bush. I did film quite a bit more but it was coming in darker all the time it doesn't warrant you seeing them properly. The cat decided to come stalking with me and I thought she was going to give the game away. They grazing quite contentedly unaware I was so near. I guess the wind was in my favour.They frolicked about. They looked like to half grown does to me. I do hope you will get to see them if you come to stay with us. Anyone who has already been will know how near they are to the house from the photo . I just hope they don't want to dine on the magnolia bush as they did a previous year. It was a feast for them as they cleared the whole tree off in one evening and a big disappointment to me
