Still Waiting

 

And so we go into autumn, which is when this blog hibernates, not knowing whether the colony will be allowed to survive or not: whether the beautiful field full of the most wonderful nature will be concreted over and built on. I check the progress of the planning application every day.

Limbo

We are still in limbo while we wait to see if the field will be built on. This colony has held steady this year and I'm still getting plenty of sightings. I pray every night that it's left alone.
