Gutter Gardening.

Goldfinch60



Bang!

Want was that?

Thud!

Another one!

And again.

Into the conservatory I go

And look up.

There in the roof gutter

A blackbird is gardening.

Thud!

There it goes again,

As he removes moss

From the gutter.

And drops it

Onto the glass roof.

There is now so much there

I can barely see out

The conservatory roof!

Don’t you just love nature!

    What man sets as his goals are not always nature's and what man sees as beauty is not always what nature designs. A lovely write Gold

            The trials and tribulations of a conservatory owner.
            I do hope you grow exotic lush but delicate flora in your glasshouse, Andy

            • Goldfinch60

              Very true Dave.

              I only grow herbs in there.
